I see you. You, who won’t leave a job you hate.

You don’t leave because you’re afraid that your degree/years of experience would be a total waste if you did.

I see you, because I was you.

When I was in BlackRock, I kept thinking to myself:
💭 “All those years I spent on my degree would be such a waste”
💭 “The past 7 years would have been for nothing if I were to leave now”
💭 “It’s too late for me to start my career all over again, I’m too used to the lifestyle my current salary gives me. ”
💭 “How can I possibly pivot into fashion? I don’t have any prior experience”

So I stayed - because I was so scared of being seen as a failure who wasted those years.

In reality, I wasted MORE precious years staying at a job when I knew 6 months in this wasn’t the right role for me.

I was a victim of the sunk-cost fallacy.

Willing to sacrifice the next 10, 20, or 30 years of my career simply because I was afraid of having wasted 7 years already.

When in reality, what really would’ve been a waste was if I:
🔥 Lived my entire life living out of fear
🔥 Spent my whole career based on someone else’s dreams
🔥 Made lifelong career decisions based on what my mere 22-year-old self knew
🔥 Woke up on my deathbed and wondered, “What if?”

The thing is, life changes.

And so will your priorities and values.

Why should I spend so much of my life doing something I’ve no interest in?

And why should I listen to my 22-year-old self who barely knew how to adult?!

I should be fearless enough and take the leaps that both my present and future self would be very grateful for.

And you should too.
