For 2 years, i am working to the company where my relative referred me. I like it here, the people were friendly and there is a sense of community. But some circumstances aligned so that i would take a leap outside of this place. I want to be rich, fast.
I graduated in IT in college, but my work is not related to computers. I think im just getting by and not planning for my future. I have a girlfriend, and we’re planning to live together, my family needs financial support and as their kid, i have to contribute, i also want some nice things for my and my hobbies like a good computer for streaming and heavy duty work, and some hardware for my crafts. Since my current income cannot support all of these, i decided to take a leap of faith, get outside of the newly found comfort zone and go to another job that may not align with the degree that i got, but would pay higher even just a little bit than my last job.
I knew that job hopping would increase my income, but i did not do it earlier in my career. I believed that loyalty to one aligns with my principle, but unfortunately, it didn’t align with my pocket. I was following an imaginary rule i set for myself.
I have been chatting with some of my peers lately, and i asked them how they are doing. And i was shocked when they tell me their status. They are really doing good, grinding hard and having the money to show for it. So i listened to them, they gave me some pretty useful advice and now it is my turn to use that as part of my plan to get ahead as well. Its a two in one, really, we get to talk again and i also get new information. After that, i think to myself, “I have been doing the bare minimum again, huh?”. My peers are pretty sure getting higher income than me, because they are locking in. Im locked out.
That’s why i resigned. Hopefully i get ahead as well, and not just be content with the bare minimum they give to me and also upskilling and learning more and doing more to be hired in a good position that pays great. And maybe, just start and succeed to the things that i wanted. Like streaming and this website. Goodluck to me!
UPDATE: July 25, 2025
Im resigned! Just finished my clearance and im officialy unemployed!!!
now that i have a lot of free time, surely i will be more active in this website right? Absolutely not. :( well maybe :)
to be honest, my plan is to just "relax" for a week while finding a BPO job, or technical associate work. and hopefully i have a new job in august.
so my supposed goal for a week or two:
- celebrate for becoming unemployed again for a while
- search for a bpo or i.t related job
- upskill by getting online certification and building this website and creating simple programs and dispalying it in this wesbite
if i still dont have a job in august, i'll probably move with my relative and just look for a job.
not gonna lie, im pretty anxious being out of work since i want money to support myself and others, but i need to move to a better opputunities for my to grow and really find what i want to do for work.
