I LEFT MY JOB IN CORPORATE BUT NOW I’M GOING BACK…
I left my corporate job to explore my passions and pursue content creation and entrepreneurship, but it didn’t go as planned…
And that’s OKAY! I’m not ashamed to be changing my mind and going back into corporate — I’ll still be pursuing these things, but on a part time capacity for fun!
I realized with all my free time that right now I enjoy and appreciate having structure and security in my job. I like interacting with coworkers and collaborating on projects.
And I even want to see what the office life is like! My new job is hybrid and will require me to move out to LA, which I’ve wanted to do for years. So I’m super excited!
Wherever you’re at in your career journey, just know everything will turn out just fine, even if it doesn’t seem like it’s going according to plan right now. 🩷

Leaving a corporate job can be a daunting decision, but it's also an opportunity for self-discovery and growth. Many professionals find themselves at crossroads, exploring passions outside of traditional employment. Reinventing your career path can lead to exciting new opportunities, as was the case for me. After taking a break to focus on mental and physical well-being, I realized I craved the structure and camaraderie of office life, something often overlooked in the pursuit of entrepreneurship. Transitioning from corporate to content creation allowed me to explore new fields, from tech to beauty, reviving old passions along the way. Job hunting again, I pursued a position that combines creativity with stability. At my new hybrid role in LA, I look forward to collaborating with a team, gaining fresh perspectives, and re-establishing professional connections. This experience taught me that career trajectories are not always linear; they often twist and turn, revealing important lessons about our desires and aspirations. It’s crucial to give yourself permission to change your mind and seek environments where you thrive. Whether you're contemplating a return to corporate life or venturing into self-employment, remember that every step contributes to your unique journey. Embrace the unknown, pursue your interests, and never hesitate to redefine success on your terms!








this is truly inspiring knowing i can leave corporate for a little and then come back and my career will be fine. I’m also interested in working in the beauty industry, how did you get your foot in the door?
