Why I Left My Dream Job at a Fashion Startup😱

I spent the first 7 years of my career in finance at Blackrock, and the last 3 years at my dream job at a fashion startup in Singapore called Style Theory. If you’re not familiar with Style Theory, it’s basically like Rent the Runway, where you rent clothes and bags for a monthly fee.

I truly loved what I did at Style Theory, it was amazing in so many ways 

• I had the opportunity to work in an industry and for a cause I truly believed in 

• It also hit on my love for psychology and understanding consumer behavior

• Desire to learn how to build a business and the opportunity to prove to myself that I could build a business from scratch 

• My values of autonomy, impact, challenge 

And so why did I quit? 

1. My ultimate goal was always to start my own start-up up

2. My goals evolved and I had a new goal - which was to be an entrepreneur 

3. Got the confidence to build my own company

4. I learned what I wanted to learn

But trust me it wasn’t an easy decision - there were so many moments in between when I doubted my decision

But this one question really helped me get clarity - would I learn more by staying or if I left?  

And with that, I knew the decision I had to make.
