If you open social media, you see the same message circulating everywhere – leave your 9-5 job, follow your passion, live a boss-free life. Sounds pretty cool, right? But what is the other side of this dream? Ruyi, an American content creator, has put in front of everyone what actually happens after leaving the job without planning. And his video is now going viral.
Ruyi had said bye-bye to her stable corporate job about 5 and a half months ago, i.e. 164 days ago. Thought that now I will live my life. But the title of the video he posted after 164 days says it all. In the video, it was written on the screen that everyone is saying leave 9-5, but brother, how will you get money after leaving the corporate?
What did you do after leaving the job?
First of all he started dog walking and dog sitting. Thought she would walk people’s pets, take care of them and earn money from it. But this idea did not work. Then he felt that he had a career in yoga and sound healing. For this he spent thousands of dollars and took expensive training. But alas, the money on training was wasted and not even a single rupee was earned.
After this came the turn of jewelery business. There was a plan to design and sell jewellery, but that plan never progressed further and kept getting postponed. Along with this, he also thought of Airbnb, but he did not have enough money to buy a house to give on rent. So this idea ended there. Finally he started content creation. Made videos day and night, sat for hours and edited them. outcome? Not a single penny came into my pocket; on the contrary, due to continuous work on the laptop, I started having severe pain in my wrist.
Ruyi says that as soon as she left the job, the salary coming every month stopped, but the expenses remained the same. Two more big shocks occurred from above. Firstly, he lost thousands of dollars in yoga training and secondly, suddenly his pet dog’s health deteriorated and he incurred a huge bill for its surgery. She herself says that these 5 and a half months have been the most stressful for her.
Now this video of his has spread like wildfire on the internet. And people are also liking it very much. Why? Because usually everyone on Instagram shows how luxurious and easy life has become after leaving the job. Fake lifestyle, expensive trips, freedom. But Ruyi has removed the filter and shown the real truth, which is a bit bitter and ugly. The support of people in the comment section is also worth seeing. Most people are praising his courage.
