I quit my job to spend more time with my family.
This was very difficult for me. I love working, but I'd been doing startups for a little more than a decade, and startups require lots of attention. When I had my first child 2 years ago, I thought I could do both. I was wrong.
My family and I moved to the wife's home country where it is very cheap and I'm spending 6 months just being "dad." In my downtime, I'm working on some residual income side projects (I've already got one going that brings in $2k a month).
It's an inflection point in my life. Truly unknown future. When I go back to the workforce, what lies ahead?
PS - I also lost 8kg. :)
- daheza 10y agoThinking about doing the same myself. I've realized I am just not happy in this job with my current company. Was it difficult to work on the side products without a set schedule like a full time job provides?
- buf 10y agoThere was about a week of total chaos, but once I got my home office setup, it was like I was back on the saddle. Having a kid also provides a set schedule - nap time, play time, etc. Those typically happen at the same time every day.
- ireadfaces 10y agoI am in technology, so must be you. Though I really find it hard to get any such work (projects) that you said you finally were able to get. Any help on how i can do same for me?
