In this personal monologue, the speaker reflects on a pivotal career decision: whether to stay at a company for the next 10‑15 years and aim for a managerial role, or to leave and build their own business. They compare the potential outcomes of each path, noting that staying could lead to a stable position while entrepreneurship offers limitless possibilities. Ultimately, they chose to quit, fully commit to their own venture, and never sent another resume. The speaker also mentions the family’s concern and unease about the decision, highlighting the social pressure surrounding such a transition.

I kind of asked myself this question. I was like, okay, if I dedicate myself like diligently, if I work hard in this company for the next 10 to 15 years, what could happen, right? What could happen? Maybe I could get, you know, a good position, managerial role or something like that. But conversely, what could happen if I like go by myself, if I dedicate diligently the same amount of work, you know, working hard for the next 10 to 15 years, on my own, like for my own company, for my own business, which I didn't know what it was at the time. So, you know, the sky was the limit at that point. So I went ahead and take the, you know, take the plunge. I did the jump and I never looked back. I never like sent a resume ever again in my life after that. And it was kind of a big deal because it took me a while to get to that job, to get to that position. And then my family were all like, you know, rattled about the fact that I was quitting.
