I hope you are well✨ I've finally made up my mind to quite corporate and leave my tech job forever. For the past 3 months, I have been busy building my own business small batch cookie co. to prepare for quitting my job as a program manager at Amazon. I can't wait to share the journey with you in a vlog series called quitting my job diaries. In the first episode, I share my experience trying out different things to find out what I like vs. don't like with my cookie business. I chat about why corporate is not for me, how I battle impostor syndrome to believe in my own business, and share how I organize events and workshops offline, out together a show to make underground Chinese indie music accessible to deaf people, and create a gift box for charity to fund a deaf person's barista training. I hope you find this video helpful if you are also considering quitting your job, wondering if corporate is for you, or building your own business/side hustle. 🔖 CHAPTERS 00:00 intro 00:42 back in the groove 01:22 job crafting 02:07 our first event 03:00 selling cookies, everywhere all at once 04:42 labor, work, action 05:14 why I'm not happy in corporate 05:57 art market 06:47 work workshop 07:44 impostor syndrome 08:39 when you are scared, take action 09:02 indie music show, for deaf people 12:47 gift box for charity 🍪 SMALL BATCH COOKIE CO. my a cookie company!!! https://weidian.com/?userid=1818503004 📦 we ship across china 🎁 giftbox for charity: https://weidian.com/item.html?itemID=5931885252 🤍 thanks for your support ☕️ SUPPORT if you are not in china and would still like to support this channel or small batch cookie co. - buy me a coffee here: https://ko-fi.com/tapiocapress i can't imagine doing any of these things without you 🤍 🎵 MUSIC Hai Ku - There Are Things That I Could Say - https://thmatc.co/?l=E5393B8C Terry Saige - Memories - https://thmatc.co/?l=8FBFFB44 frumhere - same time next year. - https://thmatc.co/?l=3A617721 The Crystal Casino Band - Bound To Be Something Good - https://thmatc.co/?l=FEFC78E8 🙋🏻‍♀️ HELLO hi i'm Evelyn. thanks for stopping by! ➭ what do you do? i'm a tech project manager ➭ where are you located?
