      Completely. There’s a cost involved to get the benefit of the salary. And to me I see a significantly better cost to benefit ratio doing something else. But for some a job might be good enough for them.

  • @ifitgamer9179
    @ifitgamer9179 17 дней назад

    So ironic, but I’m in this exact scenario. Making $147k “not on the west or east coasts, but the Midwest where cost of living isn’t too high so the salary goes a very long way,” but I’m working 60 hour weeks, my mental/physical health is deteriorating rapidly and I never see my family. I definitely don’t want to climb the ranks even further and be even more “stuck.” Good on you for leaving my man - I hope to have the courage one day

    • @_Sam_Chiu
      @_Sam_Chiu 17 дней назад

      It took me a while (years) to finally build the courage, so I know where you’re coming from. I found that thinking about the logical side of things (money, time, where each pathway would lead, whether I could succeed) helped me realize what my logical decision would be. And then I just needed a sense of urgency to push me to overcome the emotional resistance (for me that was turning 30). Wishing you all the best.

    Hi Sam, came across your video today. I’m 2 years into my first corporate role - marketing. I’ve always prioritised work life balance. I don’t want to be like my managers. No life and stuff. I want to work to live. I want to reach a point where I can work part time and live on my off days. But for the meantime I have trouble finding my true passion. Things become boring and repetitive so quickly. Anyway, my 2 cents to help the algorithm :))

    Honestly I'm surprised you didn't job hop as that is known to be the best way to give yourself a raise of more like $30k instead of $10k and there's definitely companies out there with better work life balance and even hybrid/remote work. It sounded like your company was playing typical corporate games.

    • @_Sam_Chiu
      @_Sam_Chiu 19 дней назад

      Yeah job hopping really is the way to go to make more money. I ended up moving from that first job, that’s how I ended up with $130k. Although I still ended up wanting to do something different

    @trickster2556 21 день назад

    Great video! I love the points you made which is very true and as for my experience, I used to play single player games but in 2019 my friends invited me to the multiplayer gaming world and at that time I was having fun but eventually I realised that all the hard work I'm putting in a virtual world is just pointless. The acheivements I made, the hours I put in has zero value in real world. I just wasted 2 yrs grinding in online games. Now I realised how valuable my time is, which is also limited and non-replenishable, therefore I quit online games and focus on building real life skills. But I still play campaign games time to time because I love great story games and I don't have to worry about anything, can pause it or quit it and play anytime I want when I have time to play.

    • @_Sam_Chiu
      @_Sam_Chiu 20 дней назад

      Yeah that’s exactly how I feel. The real world has skills and experience we need to gain but we can’t do so if we’re constantly gaming. Great to hear you’ve found a balance!

  • @shuhua10
    @shuhua10 22 дня назад

    Maybe what you want is a chance to express yourself, getting yourself out there and your voice heard. People come with a variety of opinions. It is quite hopeful to think that you can help people without 2-way communication and knowing their situations personally. To stop being delusional and having a more fulfilling life and relationships (things that made you quit your job), I think, in addition to youtube, you should also get a certificate for counselling and have your own office in your local area. Also, your perspective was quite pessimistic. You or Dan were not replaceable. Both of you occupied a position in the company as valuable assets and only after you left, would a spot be open for someone else. Big problem was, you were in the company, but you excluded yourself as a part of its vision. Thus, feeling unfulfilled. It is your life and it is your responsibility. However, I just want to clear things up for others when they meet this situation of finding a meaning in life and work. It is mainly the attitude of that person towards their situations. It is not just because of the situations.

    • @_Sam_Chiu
      @_Sam_Chiu 22 дня назад

      Thank you for your thoughts! I like your point on mindset determining feelings rather than situation. From a psychological perspective this is how our emotions work. But I have to say that one fundamental need of human beings is autonomy, to be able to do things on our own terms. We hate doing things against our own will. And unfortunately the economic reality is that if you work a normal job you’re very unlikely to reach financial freedom. Want to take a longer holiday? You can’t. Want to buy that gift for your partner? Maybe not. Have a health issue? Unfortunately you’re going to wait or get worse treatment to save money. These are real frustrations for me at least. Thanks for the idea on counseling. Perhaps it is something I will do. At the same time I do think many of us face common issues which can be solved with common advice, and using a platform like RUclips can impact millions of people rather than an individual basis.

    One crazy fact is, at least for me, the older you get the lesser you want to deal with people and just be around the people most dear to you. Which is still socializing by the way. I love this video brother. Keep it up! We're watching. I hope to be in one of your videos soon!

    Thank you so much for sharing your life lessons. You have saved me from making the same mistake. Im at uni now studing cyber security and for the past few years have been pushed by myself and others to aim for a life of desk work and stress. I've had realisations recently that it's not what im looking for and I'd rather, as you put it, invest that work in other aspects of my life. What you've said here has confirmed it and im fully certain i will avoid that road, I've also seen my dad walk down it too. Im 20 and i want you to know this has helped shape my life for the better <3

    @underview8492 25 дней назад

    Thanks man. If I were to be honest, I really don't have a purpose. I know we are supposed to make our own purpose but I don't know which one. I really needed that advice from Dr. Peterson. I really don't like the wishy washy "this is how you find purpose", I've struggled to find a scientifcally-based video on finding purpose. Thank you very much man. That said though, I am curious what exactly it means when "things doesn't work for you". At which does that begin? The first sign of resistance, the third, the fifth? Or is it when you don't feel like the goal is not worth pursuing? I just remembered the concept of purpose layers from the Way of the Superior Man. I guess that answers my question.

    • @underview8492
      @underview8492 25 дней назад

      Goals - We are wired to chase goals but not all goals are equal. We need two things: The right challenge (lean in your edge) and a large impact (magic of thinking big). Belonging - To have meaning, we must leave a mark in the world that outlasts. We must leave a large impact on other people. Science says we are more happy when we positively affect other people. Solving problems for other people is the way we make money. 1. Help people solve problems you've solved. 2. Be inspired from the people that have helped you and ypu admire. Autonomy - We need a sense of control, what when when we want to work. Autonomy is a significant factor of work satisfaction. Mastery - This is how we get autonomy. Deep within us is a thirst of mastery. Develop the right skills and get the job you want. Get so good they can't ignore you. What if we set the wrong goal? Dr Jordan Peterson -> "Having any goal is better than having no goal". Change your goal when you learn that it simply isn't for you. ruclips.net/video/KjWsK2xQ59c/видео.htmlsi=0GSRQpN7v03wSci7

    Great video! For me personally, thinking back to the past week, month, and year, I found myself actually feeling happy and satisfied about the countless gaming hours I've spent. I do occationally play multiplayer fighting or racing games (and those are often a waste of time on reflection), but I primarily play open-ended, creative video games, like Minecraft, Terraria, and Animal Crossing New Horizons. Through these games I've learned about some of our real world's plants and animals, I research what the things I build in-game are like in the real world, and in Animal Crossing I've experimented with basic interior decorating and actually applied what I learned to my room decor in real life. I probably don't feel regret for the hours I've put into these games because they have been an educating experience. Sorry for the tangent, I found this toppic very interesting and wanted to share how it applied to me!

So many people do what they can do and not what they want to . Knowing that I can get the 20 years back I've dedicated... And hearing your story and thoughts I won't waste another day... I'm going to quit my 100,000 a year job and pursue my passion. Thank you for sharing your story it's given me the strength the light my ambitions fire. Anything that's happens after here I will always be thankful that you followed your passion to make this video that found me to encourage me to make this decision.

I can't do all of these things at the same time and I can't just quit my job now because I am also a Father of 4 kids. So, I decided to upload my very first brand awareness content last week, and it was not that bad, then I stumbled into your video which boosted up my confidence to make more contents. Love that you added that fact that, no matter how long you worked for a company, at the end of the day, it feels weird to that nothing just happened. Keep up the videos man! I hope to collaborate with you soon. From the Philippines here

    First video I’ve seen of you. Thought you had like 100k+ subs. Apparently 800. Great stuff, keep going 💪🏼
