A Bengaluru woman has sparked a conversation on social media after sharing that she quit her ₹60,000 a month marketing job without having any backup plan.
Diksha, who moved to Bengaluru for the job after getting placed through her college, said she was grateful for the experience but did not want to remain stuck in the same routine.
Woman says she wanted to break free from routine
Taking to Instagram, Diksha shared a video in which she opened up about her decision to resign from her job. She said, "I quit my job. So I was earning 60k a month at 22 as a fresher in a marketing job. It was my college placement and the main reason Bangalore shift hone ka. No doubt, it was a fun job. I met amazing people, learned a lot, and I'll always be grateful for it. I didn't want to quit, but at the same time, I didn't want the same routine. 9-to-5 kaam karo—sorry, 9-to-9 kaam karo, ghar aa ke khao, so jao, and then repeat. And then wait karo weekend ka to actually enjoy my own life."
She further said that instead of overthinking endlessly, she decided to take a risk. "Apne dimaag ka dahi karne se accha hai unke dimaag ka dahi kar do, aur kisi random Tuesday ko resign kar do. I don't have any backup plans. I don't know what I want to do in my life. I just know I don't want to spend my whole life stuck in one place. I know it's risky, but no risk, no stories. Let's see how my unemployment era goes, aur nahi chala to? Koi na, I can always start again. I want to be young, dumb, and broke for now."
