@@WhatEver-u5j he was never in the streets fr (no shade) and I grew up 3 blocks from oblock so I don’t expect him to understand because he holds a bias that doesn’t allow him to tap into true empathy but I don’t fault Anton for that because I don’t take pride in the situations that led me to have that empathy. I just wish he didn’t use the same satire as akademiks because it comes off disrespectful but I don’t have to like you to learn from you. Real nigga knowledge 🙏🏾
This video seemingly lacks A LOT of context. From what I’m reading, this woman has several businesses garnering her even more revenue. She freed up her time to manage her other businesses. 🤷🏽♀️
Yeah, I follow her...She worked for a government contractor. Now her and her father (vet who also worked in govt contracting) are starting a their own government contracting business. She will make way more. These people irritate my soul always having so much to say out of context. She's been in tech since she was 16... She knows exactly what she's doing.
@@jackmac919 she did. It just went over your little head. Not that her business is any of ours to begin with. If a person walks away from that much, there’s a reason for it.
She may have a DNC and saying this to soften the legal ramifications if it should come back at her. She use the contacts from the job to start her business. If she was under so much stress to keep up the other job how you find time to start a new company that requires more time? She made a mistake and address her manager as her then swtih to him when she said she went to her for a switch in job
I follow her… the thing about this is that she is good financially… others shouldn’t follow her doing the same. She has been in tech for a longtime and her partner is also making a lot of money. She shouldn’t however give people the same advice. It’s not ok to quit for everyone. Some people need that job and don’t have anything to fall back on. If it’s an overwhelming feeling go and take a vacation but don’t quit.
Ive been working remote for 10 years. You'll never hear me whine about mental health or stress. There are men who get up at 4am to work on fishing boats to feed their families. Im sure they would love to just quit their job because of feelings
I swear, I work full time remotely as well. But my husband who is making way less than me is my true hero. He wakes up every day at 5am drive 1h10min to work and never complains. He is my soldier. Love him to death
Yup and they’re going through serious health issues like stroke and heart attacks..ima tell you one thing, if your health is not your number 1 priority don’t put that on anyone else..you can have all the money in the world but once you have that stroke😮its game over!
I consider myself a very strong woman. My husband left me for another woman. I was a junior in college, working in a bank and going through a nasty divorce. Graduated on time while working and felt on top of the world! I came out being a very accomplished woman and I thank Our Lord!
Black people accomplish the world and they give credit to a God. All the hard work, late nights, blood sweat and tears THEY gave but want God to have the credit afterward. But let them fail or take a lost and then we'll take allll the credit for that lol, that couldn't have been God then lol. We're so brainwashed to believe we are defeated and powerless people..
Mental health is important, but at least for me, the most damaging thing to my mental health as an adult is BEANG BROKE. No way in hell I'm quitting a 275k a year job.
It's multiple RUclipsrs pushing the movement of "quitting your job" and I guess to follow your passion or don't be a prisoner to your job. This is crazy and people are following this, being misguided, and failing.
Yes. And those of us with ambition are waiting to jump right into those open positions. Employment and business are competitive. Compete or not. The choice is yours.
It’s a dangerous message to push in this current environment. Good jobs are not easy to come by. If you have a good one, even not so good, it’s best to hold on until your side business takes off or you find another good job.
My wife died a year and a half ago leaving me with a 9 year old daughter, unfinished house flips all over the place, my health was in the toilet, and on, and on. As a 4th quarter guy, I just hit the gas and never looked back. I couldn't imagine letting my daughter witness me folding up like cheap lawn furniture, all broke down and headed for a comfy couch in a therapist's office. These stunning and brave masculine women are society's weak link.
I'm sorry for your loss, but that shot at her was absolutely ridiculous. Look into her story - she was already wealthy. She's a heavy stock and crypto investor, has rental properties, makes bags from her social media work, wrote a personal finance book that did numbers a couple of years ago, has an Amazon store, etc. So yea, she quit a 275k job because at the end of the day she didn't need it.
@@JC-tq9pe I’m sorry for this gentleman’s loss. But I note that he didn’t just take a shot at this woman; he took a shot at all women, calling us “masculine” and “society’s weak link”. I don’t think his grief gives him a pass to spew misogyny on the internet.
The entirety of the compensation package exceeded $275K pre-IPO. Highly skilled so she was highly paid. A surgery four months into the job, and they still kept her. They seem to be pretty lenient, but not even a year in, and demanding a 4 month vacation? She couldn't just get the mental health therapy while working? Hard to fully empathize. She did a bounce back though and getting the bag on her own terms while including family.
That was my thing. How many times are you going to go on leave? How many times are you going to go on leave and think that job will respectfully want to keep you and put you in another role? That 500k job likely was not there anyway because she would be absent........from home.
@@iambounceback Yup. Any other job would have had a 90 day probation or trial period or something. Looks that right after the trial period she assumed that she was 'safe'. Personally, I think the company fired her - no way to know what REALLY went down though.
She deff was taking advantage and folks like this make it bad for others … I like her and her content but after this video I started looking at her crazy
As a technical recruiter that places people in these types of opportunities, she will find another opportunity. This pay in technology is normal. Her total package was a base of 275k but her base was 175k. That’s mid range in tech. She will be fine. She’s smart and will land another role probably paying more. For anyone not in the industry, it seems like a lot of money. This is fairly normal for tech professionals and they move around to different companies quite a bit. Imagine a start up offering this, what are the big box tech companies offering? Something to think about. She’s gonna be fine. Proud of her. Doing her thing!
She was promoting courses online. She still has multiple streams of income. Also her nurse practitioner girlfriend just moved in with her. They have money flowing in.
I applaud her for putting her health ahead of a paycheck. A lot of people will sacrifice their health for a high paycheck. She will bounce back and do better. She's very intelligent and driven. Bess to you❤
Shoutout to her for being able to quit this job and chill over life events that practically everyone deals with. She’s obviously in the drivers seat of her financial future and can have lower threshold of pain that allows her to relax and recover. She earned it.
My worst mental health episodes were always when I didn’t have a job a man is naturally a provider . The best feeling is knowing all your bills paid kids have everything they need and your lady don’t want for anything so ain’t no way I’m taking a 4 month vacation .
My mother died in 2017, the same year I bought my first house and got my highest paying job at the time in Tech.. My company gave me 2 weeks pto, which I didn’t not have at the time to help burry my mother with my sister… I didn’t quit I grind harder but I get everyone’s different and handle things differently
My husband makes more than that. Every year, he's quitting his chemical contracts, and it hasn't happened yet.😂😂 I'm still not knocking her because she makes the money and if she wants to quit that's her business.
@@genetikz2010 @Jayonase425 She already retired early before, she been making that money but before it was overseas, she good because she did the right thing with her money
I resigned my $175k per year overseas job (free apartment, free cable, free cell phone, SUV, gas card, 100% company matched contributions into a 401k, medical, and standard dental) after working for the company for almost five years. I resigned in order to be with my mother and father during my moms battle with cancer. I understand where she's coming from. Will she get another opportunity? I think so, as she's proven she's an asset. It's unfortunate that her issues came before the full 12 month period at the company. Crazy thing is, I was my parents last child and she developed uterus cancer, had a hysterectomy and was done with it for 40 years. It was the medication 'Zantac' that cause her develop stomach cancer and it killed her. Ain't that a bitch?
Lost my six figure job in 2020. Still had a family to support so I found a job and 1/2 the pay. No time to be depressed. Found another job making six figures again and went through a devastating divorce. I had to leave my emotions at home and keep pushing. What is she going to do when hard times hit again. I hope she's learned from her emotional experiences.
@@CreatedbyLeon You have to lead with that. This is the kind of stuff that amps some people up just to immediately leave and then find out its hard right now in the job market.
@@iambounceback if you grown enough to quit your job, you grown enough to deal with the consequences. It’s not another adults problem you are naive and extremely gullible.. too big to be mislead at that point.
@@CreatedbyLeon as a manager I see too many of our people amped when they see this kinda stuff and just quit. I completely agree with you though. It’s a lot of young hasty people out here now who don’t even think twice and end up in a bad position.
I mean….not everyone is moved by or a slave to money…you can have the best paying job there is & still feeling like offing yourself at the end of a shift. It’s important to be happy with work & not just after a dollar.
If I were in her shoes, I would go to therapy everyday after work to get by. But I would NEVER quit a job that pays $500K a year. HELL NO. But if she has more resources to be paid more, than more power to her. I hope she overcame her multiple crisis and go back to being great at her work and helping others.
The blind obsession with “chasing the bag” is definitely a sickness in our community! Everyone needs to do what’s best for their own mental health - within reason of course. Whether that means taking a step back or using work as a healthy distraction. Good for her for now only taking her time off to deal with all the blows of life, but having enough foresight to use her high income earnings to set herself up financially by networking, her YT channel, and making other moves in Govt Tech Sales. Moral of the story: No matter what you make, always set yourself to be in a better position than before
She will regret it in 2 years. Everyone has good days and the worst days - it’s discipline and consistency that helps you keep going. Take a 1 week vacation if needed but do not take your foot off the gas
Please don’t make everything I just wrote in vain. She’ll only regret it if she’s been making bad financial decisions and taking a sabbatical. Believe it or not, there are actually black people who aren’t financially struggling out here and can afford to take time off without skipping a beat. Don’t lump the few of us doing things right, with the many of y’all with the poverty mindset doing things wrong.
@@waflestix346 You do not know this women's finances and mindset. She retired before for almost a year because of he investments, she got that role and came out of retirement because of her network(too easy to pass up). When you have a million dollar+ portfolio plus making 20k a month from your social influence etc. You can quit your job and do what you want. She done put the work in and built her skills in tech overseas (tax free), with a computer science degree. She can go back in the workforce at anytime.
Mental health is important. I get “chasing the bag” (and I’m doing that myself), but therapy is extremely helpful. Sometimes, you need someone just to bounce things in your head off of. I don’t get a person being skilled at making money, yet not understanding the importance of being mentally able to handle it all. If you look at Dave Ramsey, he even has understanding of this.
I'm not quitting my job. Life is life and there's always going to be some type of static and or roadblocks in life but I'm not a quitter. I've lost my mother when I got a great paying job in another state but I didn't quit. I just had to keep on stepping up for my life and survival..Remember, everybody is gonna go through the tough times. It's a part of life. Oh I give my grief to the Lord which keeps me going....Now that's how I roll...
17:36 So let's talk about the elephant in the room in regards to her divorce. Number one, she sounds like she's a stud. For those who don't know, that means a black lesbian butch. Chances are, whomever she was divorcing was a woman who probably thinks that they deserve the grand majority of your salary. So, chances are, this woman quit her job. In fact, this actually makes more sense. Regardless of the other things going on in her life, she most likely did not want to pay alimony. So, she most likely quit her job so she could minimize her losses. And being that she's a woman herself, she's hoping that hopefully the judge will treat her like a woman and give her a break. So you've got two people who in a way are getting a break. But God forbid, if she is a black lesbian and the other woman adopted or had a kid while they were married, she is screwed, especially as a high earner. This actually makes more sense as we go along.
exactly the divorce/alimony part is what she aint' speaking on and nor should she, it wouldn't benefit her to have that information/sentiment floating on the internet. framing her decisions like this helps her the most
11:33 So I haven't watched the whole video yet, but as for the people who can't understand how she would quit a job that's so lucrative, you have to understand the type of person we're dealing with. And most will not, and they won't be able to comprehend her caliber. This is a lady who could walk into a job making over six figures easily. Double-digit six figures. She could quit her job, be okay, and not have to worry about getting by because of her skill set. Believe me, she makes what most of the people here in the comments are making probably in two weeks that it takes you all a year to make. So again, the caliber of person that we have here, she's able to quit whatever job she wants because whenever she wants to get back into whatever she's dealing with, she'll be able to do so easily, as opposed to someone with no skills. Because that's something most people here do not understand, especially for those who are college educated and have no skills. You could be college educated, but that doesn't mean you have the skill set for the workforce. You were probably educated in something, but really that doesn't mean anything if you have no skills. This person has skills. They could go wherever they want, and those skills will be valued. As opposed to, I don't know, a customer service worker who is able to get a minimum wage job and has to worry if they lose their job, if they'll be able to keep moving on as normal. She doesn't have that concern.
Boyce Watkins harps on not getting an education and says, that owning a business should rank supreme. Wait a minute ! If we are the Original People, we not only have the capacity to do both, but those that can, have an obligation to do so. She is not only educated, she is ambitious and has her Dad to support her. I applaud her efforts. HOORAH !!!
As someone that works in GovTech like Symone, I approve this message. You’re paid extremely well for your skillset in this industry. It’s also extremely easy to get jobs when you are skilled.
My husband makes great money, every year he saying he quitting the industry. The money calls him back.😂😂😂 I tired to get him into tech with me. He said the money is not worth it for him. Now he helps me with real estate when he has time.
She is financially good. She has been teaching thousands if people how to get into tech. I FOLLOW her and she is the reason why I am getting into govtech, but she did drop a lifetime bag 😢. At the same time she is a entrepreneur that will get rewarded for heloing others. Shell always be rich
Mental Health my Azz! I'm making 6 figures as a Heavy Equipment Tech and there's no way in HELL I'm walking away from this SWEET job. I can deal with anything but being BROKE and HUNGRY!
I think she’s in a unique position! I quit my job in August cos I had to choose btw working with the license I had, working harder and earning less vs getting a higher degree, working less and earning more! I chose to go higher and make more in the end! Now am picking up per diem shifts and going to school! I am blessed to be in a particular position to be able to that! Not everyone can do this. If I had a $275k job…I would have to think twice on quitting!😂😂😂.. good for her but this will not be the case for the majority of people! I am glad she’s happier now!
Don’t quit a job paying 275k especially if you’re getting alone with everyone in the company so forth & so forth. You can still be a Entrepreneur on the side. Do not let that good money go. I don’t care what she talking about period.
😂😂😂 Anton and that dance!! I’m the same way. I would have taken a 3 week vacation in Thailand and came back stronger than ever. QUITTING HECK NO! DONT PLAY WITH MY MONEY!!
I’m 100% remote, 6-8 mos out of the year with full autonomy in STEM since 2013. I have a small farm and by default Im a FT housewife. Im home 24/7, its not for everyone yet Im thankful to do what I want when I choose. So unless Im being physically beaten, force fed or my husband tells me to, I ain’t quitting at $128K let alone $275K. 🤷🏽♀️ Edit: men and women process and structure stress differently, yes. Yet this lady seems she already had a deep deficit prior to her landing this gravy job hence why her life events were a catalyst for her to jump ship.
I really wish she had sought FMLA for Mental Health reasons. I’ve known several people who have had their doctors to write them out of work for an extended period of time. She could have done a couple of months out while she got the counseling and therapy she needed and still had her job and benefits when she returned. There are laws that protect anyone who goes out on FMLA from losing their jobs or retaliation. At the same time, I do understand her why of wanting to go into business with her Dad and make even more money.
She was out 4 months or so for the surgery and then wanted to do 4 more. She had likely exhausted her FMLA /STD privileges the first go round. Remember all of this was under a year and if they went by hours worked only it wasn't enough.
FLMA is law for employers with more than 50 employees (she doesn't mention how many) and have accrued 1260 hours in. I dont think she was eligible for FMLA but who knows what the real deal was about. I'm starting to think that she took the job only for the resources: networking, software, processes, procedures, etc. then left to utilize all the information she obtained and started her own business. I aint hatin' but all that mental stress stuff doesn't add up. She had an agenda. Update: FMLA is 1250 hours in and you've had to have worked 12 months prior and worked within 75 miles of from the office of where your assignment is.
This woman is not an anomaly. I have a female friend who made over 240,000 as an attorney for about 7 years. She couldn't handle it, along with the pressures of life. She quit and now lives in her brother's basement as she does temporary work at conferences. Pressure was made for shoulders, not hips!
she turned down $500k in this economy?? I lost all my granparents within the last two years. All of them. A cousin and an aunt all on the same side. I still had to show up to work man
F that I still wouldn’t quit my job. Work helps people stay focused. Doing something is a blessing. Busy work keeps your mind going & off the sorrow. Good for her though I wouldn’t have done that.
Shes leaving information out. 1. "get married to a man( not a woman)that works and is supportive he wouldnt have let you quit. 2. Rent an office. You have money. 3. Take mini vacays, during the process. 4. Get a male therapist that will help you through this while "keeping" your job. She believe she can get another job like that plus she didnt talk about alimony.
She said that she's making this video for anyone who is in the same position that she was in?!? Guarantee you that almost NONE of her views are anywhere near the position that she was in! Her world is so unique since she has other sources of income. Get mental healthcare & let your job pay for it. A 4-month long vacation from a fairly new job?!? Ridiculous!
In my opinion, she's an extremely immature whiny baby. It's called adult life. Deal with it!!!! No way in hell would I walk away from such a lucrative job!!!! Hell, I'm not walking away from my current job, which doesn't pay no where near what she was making and stood to make. And I don't know anyone who can take a freaking FOUR-month vacation. I vacation every 3 months. But a 4-month long vacation? Where they do that at? LOL. 😀
My son was robbed out of approximately $15 million when a company dropped him after the final deal was completed or solidified. They cut him out. ( the middle man) and the buyer and seller started talking. And they cut him out. His % of the deal would have been almost $15 million. Shortly after that the Company open on the Stock Market. It's a medical company.
@@ManjiWarlord I wanted to go public, but the attorney said we had a high burden of proof or something stupid like that. They shut down his email, everything because it was a home based business like she had.
People who make six figures to millions a year “off” themselves all the time because they live 💩 lives mentally…it’s important. So material items matter over mental stability Anton? Sounds good.
Props to you Anton! Production is the basis of moral. Therapy leads to psych drugs, and thus leads to serious problems, like more mental issues. Nope you’re right.
These comments quick to judge without knowing anything about her. She’s had multiple streams of income before the job came along and her wealth of knowledge will keep her employed when she wants to be. At some point you don’t have to be a slave to the paycheck
So she screwed herself. Hadn’t been there for a year? You took off 2 months after your hire and then wanted to take a 4 month vacation, but still get paid? What the hell were you thinking?
I think she did what others should’ve done before they went to their jobs and took their coworkers from their families. Everyone handles stress differently. Wishing her the best in her future endeavors.
I’m trying to figure where she came up with four months from. Like did she calculate a month for each issue? That’s oddly specific based off of emotions and feelings.
3:05 No, that's not what golden handcuffs are. That's something completely different. So when you have golden handcuffs, usually it means you're an employee who is working for a company for a certain amount of time. So generally, anywhere from two to three years. And you will be paid a set amount of money through that time. Now, during this time, there are usually clauses if you quit what would happen or if the employer decides to fire you, what would happen. So generally, a person who has golden handcuffs is usually let go, but the employer is still going to pay them for the remainder of the contract, meaning if they're paid, let's say, 30K every month, that will continue until the contract ends. And at that point, you're allowed to work for someone else. So let's say you're a broadcaster. You're given a $3 million contract, which will be paid for a two-year term. Your employer decides they no longer want you on air, but they're not going to release you from your contract. So at this point, what's going to happen is they're going to give you golden handcuffs. So you're not allowed to work for anyone else, including yourself. So there's literally a non-compete clause in there and an NDA, because technically you're still under contract, but you don't have to produce any work. So that's where the term golden handcuffs come from, because usually when you're fired, you're fired. That's it. But when you've got golden handcuffs on, you literally not only have a non-compete clause, but you're still getting paid to literally do nothing.
To add, sometimes it’s not a NDA or non-compete for less complex positions. But something as simple as vesting schedules for company matches or RSUs. I was confused by his definition of golden handcuffs too 😅. Yours is definitely accurate
@@sjevents14 I think it might be shocking to you then that you could actually be a McDonald's worker, and I'm not saying these workers have golden handcuffs, but literally McDonald's workers or various other fast food workers actually sign sometimes in certain areas non-compete clauses where they can't work within the same industry. If you don't believe me, simply Google. But even for non-complex positions or lower paying jobs near minimum wage, you would be surprised to see NDAs being given to staff. I remember there was a private equity that I actually worked for and was in management and staff, as a requirement of employment, would have to sign NDAs. Keep in mind, this same company illegally classified their newly hired employees Call Center workers as independent contractors so the employer did not have to pay taxes on those employees. Of course, when a certain person within management cough cough helped these lower level employees on how to file what's called an IRS form, SS-8, and walked them through an Illinois law called the Wage Payment and Collection Act, they quickly changed this policy. But of course, there were still NDAs for those employees and also newly hired employees.
She didn't say anything that would have made me quit like wtf? Then she asked for 4 months off and ain't even been working the job for 6 months, Bro they should have fired her ass lo
@@genetikz2010 It's okay she took on a lot more then what she lets on. Trust me walking away from that kind of money would not be easy. As for myself no way in hell I am going to be leaving a roll like that. I would be in a comfortable position. Some people don't know how good they have so they walk away thinking that is a flex more or less.
YOOOO , so glad you reviewed this video Anton. I have been trying to tackle these snake oil I.T. types for a while , but I am too lazy to create the content. I think it is embarrassing that all the black tech content creators are talking about the 'shortcut' to a paycheck, and not teaching actual I.T. skills that pay the bills. This shit is scammy, and grifty imo, and I don't believe it. I have been in I.T. for 25 years ,and it pisses me off that it is no longer treated as an elite venue, but as some sort of 'finesse to the bag'. Why is it only our people approaching the job market this way? Why not just learn a skill and get paid? Also what is it that people think 100k is? like a magic number? i make twice that at my 9-5, but I have been working a quarter of a century. Also why are we so ignorant to the fact that most of these jobs only became available since 2020 and ALL THE LAYOFFs that are happening now are those same people getting kicked out of jobs they really were not eligible for. Why are people so stupid?
She wasted nine months of their time you agreed to take the position they didn't hire you to take 4 month long vacations that's why you got 275 free healthcare and being remote plus equity you should have started with your dad in the first place no one forced you to make content you put too much on your plate ain't no 4 month break
Fumbled the bag man mental health important but that dont mean YOU NEED A 4 MONTH BREAK??? Your an adult the world is cold and hard get over it and keep going god man well thats someone else's bag now!
I agree especially ppl of color. I make six figures in cybersecurity and my business. I refuse to go live and brag. She's marketing and showing it can be done, she's made others successful. My cousin took her GOV tech mentoring, she was already a Software engineer. For me, I'm not bragging about my income publicly.
I don’t see the issue! She did what’s best for her and is the only one who has to deal with the consequences…doesn’t sound like she has kids. She now has her own government contracts probably making more money soon and seems happy…sounds like a win!
Her lesson is that if you already have complete financial security and it's fine to leave a stable high-paying job for anther stable high paying job for which you have more passion. Frankly it's so simple that it's boring. That's why she needs a provocative title like "I quit 225K/Year Tech Job (The Ugly Truth About Remote Work)" to get people to click it. The problem is that not everyone reads articles or watches videos to get the context. So some percentage of people might be discouraged from going into high-paying stable remote work passed on her provocative title, thinking it's a bad thing when her video really says nothing of the sort. I kept waiting for her to talk about overbearing bosses not respecting the boundaries of her personal life, some form of harassment or toxic employer behavior of some kind. What we got was "I was going through personal shit, I'm already rich, and that company wouldn't give me a 4-month vacation, so I took my vacation and did my other job that pays me just as well or better." She has the luxury to do that from already being established, but to how many people does this message actually apply vs. how many people will misinterpret it?
Was just watching her video. Mental health is important but she needed a FOUR MONTH BREAK?!?! When my father lost mother (& my grandmother was the glue of that side of the family) i don’t even think he took an entire month off.
Free healthcare, working remote, and equity are fairly common in the tech industry..... and unlimited vacation. I'm a solutions architect at a tech company .
I’m not leaving a 275k job. My grandpa died during Covid was making far less than that and I was facing other issues but I kept going to work cuz that’s what a man is supposed to do.
I've been trying to get into cyber security the last year. It's been a challenge for me to say the least. But I'm sure the reward will be worth it in the end. But, for some reason, I've always had a feeling that the day I do get everything rolling in life...life will end... it doesn't deter me from chasing my goals. But seems to be like a dark cloud over my head.
I agree Anton, as a man we gotta hold it together when the world is crumbling around us. I’ve been through sh*t in 2022 to mid 2023 and still held it together. Some women are emotional so they experience things diffidently than us…
I remember this chic from pre corona Twitter. Every time she speaks I feel like it’s 🧢. Anybody with a little experience in the industry knows a snake oil salesman when they hear one.
Men are just built different. 🤷🏿♂️ Family members died here, I kept powering forward. I made time to grieve, but it only motivated me more since time is precious.
🤦🏾🤦🏾 I get it. Everyone needs a break. I'm taking my 10 days at the end of the year. Lost 2 grandma's this year. Got 1 grandparent left. But nowhere on the planet can u go to a job or being a business owner and take 4 months off. You can change generations with that type of money. We've let this whole mental health internet talk become a crutch. Life happens to us all. It's how u handle life when it happens to you is what matters. These Asians, Indians are coming for those jobs.
Honestly, they make it sounds like they just quit because of mental health but they quit because they had the financial space to do so. At the end of the video she built a business with a Contacts so even if she didn’t have a mental health episode who’s to say she wouldn’t just quit build her business anyways? It’s not for the same for those who truly are in a financial pinch to just get up and quit just because of my mental health.
That’s not what golden handcuffs means. It’s when you increase your lifestyle as your income increases to where you are forced to keep the position to maintain your lifestyle.
I was just about to say this is the difference with men and women. Most men will drown themselves with work (if you are moderately successful). Anton brings up a good point about dealing with death. If they are in a better place, we should be going harder here on earth to make our living loved ones lives easier.
Smh....i work in mental health . Patients continue to work while receiving therapy and other treatment modalities. I believe theres more to story . Shes not sharing everything.
That’s real easy for you to say because you’ve never truly hit rock bottom mental health wise. Why do you think so many rich people off themselves with all the money in the world! Because contrary to what you believe right now, there’s nothing more valuable than a peace of mind over money! Humble yourself sir, and don’t down talk am out how other had to help themselves in order to still be here.
I don't think sis only went through mental health therapy. It may be apparent that she went through physical therapy from her operations to turn into a man. Her job was a face-to-face process to meet and retain top clients. Maybe, it wasn't feasible to shock the government clients and the firms he/she worked for. So he/she started over fresh with new clients that wouldn't know or have a clue. It starts to make sense now. More power to him/her....
She works for the government and they will own you too if you get a government contract and yes you will have no time to do nothing else but make sure you come through with their contract they don't care about whatever else you're doing and then they'll take your ideas

@@WhatEver-u5j he was never in the streets fr (no shade) and I grew up 3 blocks from oblock so I don’t expect him to understand because he holds a bias that doesn’t allow him to tap into true empathy but I don’t fault Anton for that because I don’t take pride in the situations that led me to have that empathy. I just wish he didn’t use the same satire as akademiks because it comes off disrespectful but I don’t have to like you to learn from you. Real nigga knowledge 🙏🏾
This is why we need less men in the world, because they lack empathy and emotional intelligence, and everything is about the bottom line/profit.
This video seemingly lacks A LOT of context. From what I’m reading, this woman has several businesses garnering her even more revenue. She freed up her time to manage her other businesses. 🤷🏽♀️
Obviously trying to make a point while leaving out important details 🤦🏾♀️
Yeah, I follow her...She worked for a government contractor. Now her and her father (vet who also worked in govt contracting) are starting a their own government contracting business. She will make way more. These people irritate my soul always having so much to say out of context. She's been in tech since she was 16... She knows exactly what she's doing.
I watched her video. This guy is dumb. Money isn’t everything but I guess to this random dude it is lol. He should just mind his fricken business 😂
SHE was the one who didn't give context.
@@jackmac919 she did. It just went over your little head. Not that her business is any of ours to begin with.
If a person walks away from that much, there’s a reason for it.
Fun Fact she only quit because she started her own business doing the same thing with her father and now she's making way more than 250K
She may have a DNC and saying this to soften the legal ramifications if it should come back at her. She use the contacts from the job to start her business. If she was under so much stress to keep up the other job how you find time to start a new company that requires more time?
She made a mistake and address her manager as her then swtih to him when she said she went to her for a switch in job
@@lifeissimple1019 I wonder if she signed a non compete clause in her work contract. 🤔
She's working with her dad? That's pretty awesome.
I follow her… the thing about this is that she is good financially… others shouldn’t follow her doing the same. She has been in tech for a longtime and her partner is also making a lot of money. She shouldn’t however give people the same advice. It’s not ok to quit for everyone. Some people need that job and don’t have anything to fall back on. If it’s an overwhelming feeling go and take a vacation but don’t quit.
This statement actually puts a lot into perspective 💯
Agree. She got a following, community and digital product.
The good takeaway is have a business or extra skill on the side to have OPTIONS.
Amen!!’
Wait a minute.. I thought we were all adults, so you need another adult to tell you not to quit a job that YOU KNOW YOU NEED??
Typical Anton talking smack about people he doesn’t know. She’s in the position to make that decision.
Ive been working remote for 10 years. You'll never hear me whine about mental health or stress. There are men who get up at 4am to work on fishing boats to feed their families. Im sure they would love to just quit their job because of feelings
I swear, I work full time remotely as well. But my husband who is making way less than me is my true hero. He wakes up every day at 5am drive 1h10min to work and never complains. He is my soldier. Love him to death

Yup and they’re going through serious health issues like stroke and heart attacks..ima tell you one thing, if your health is not your number 1 priority don’t put that on anyone else..you can have all the money in the world but once you have that stroke😮its game over!
I consider myself a very strong woman. My husband left me for another woman. I was a junior in college, working in a bank and going through a nasty divorce. Graduated on time while working and felt on top of the world! I came out being a very accomplished woman and I thank Our Lord!
I am overjoyed for you. This is so inspiring. God bless!
Good for you!
Damn you a monster! 🙏🏾
That's sucks, the side chick looks good?! 😕
Black people accomplish the world and they give credit to a God. All the hard work, late nights, blood sweat and tears THEY gave but want God to have the credit afterward. But let them fail or take a lost and then we'll take allll the credit for that lol, that couldn't have been God then lol. We're so brainwashed to believe we are defeated and powerless people..
Mental health is important, but at least for me, the most damaging thing to my mental health as an adult is BEANG BROKE. No way in hell I'm quitting a 275k a year job.
Respect ✊ 💯 agree 0:46
😭😭
*BEANG???* …and this is why you don’t have a 275K/year job
Mental health is important! I didn't think the person in the video was a woman.
FACTS
It's multiple RUclipsrs pushing the movement of "quitting your job" and I guess to follow your passion or don't be a prisoner to your job. This is crazy and people are following this, being misguided, and failing.
Yes. And those of us with ambition are waiting to jump right into those open positions. Employment and business are competitive. Compete or not. The choice is yours.
People don't even line up another job for the one they're about to quit. Says a lot about today's society.
It’s a dangerous message to push in this current environment. Good jobs are not easy to come by. If you have a good one, even not so good, it’s best to hold on until your side business takes off or you find another good job.
This is why in the bible it says beware of false prophets. That verse means more than just disbelievingly false pastors.
My job is my bank for my real estate investments. Not quitting anytime soon.
My wife died a year and a half ago leaving me with a 9 year old daughter, unfinished house flips all over the place, my health was in the toilet, and on, and on. As a 4th quarter guy, I just hit the gas and never looked back. I couldn't imagine letting my daughter witness me folding up like cheap lawn furniture, all broke down and headed for a comfy couch in a therapist's office. These stunning and brave masculine women are society's weak link.
🫡.
I'm very sorry for you loss.
Couldn't imagine that happening to me.
I'm glad you overcame.
Bless Up .👊🏾
Sending prayers your way. I lost my beloved dad (2019) and mom (2022) . You have to be sad but get up dust yourself off and keep moving .❤️❤️❤️❤️
Much love dad. Keep up the good
I'm sorry for your loss, but that shot at her was absolutely ridiculous. Look into her story - she was already wealthy. She's a heavy stock and crypto investor, has rental properties, makes bags from her social media work, wrote a personal finance book that did numbers a couple of years ago, has an Amazon store, etc. So yea, she quit a 275k job because at the end of the day she didn't need it.
@@JC-tq9pe I’m sorry for this gentleman’s loss. But I note that he didn’t just take a shot at this woman; he took a shot at all women, calling us “masculine” and “society’s weak link”. I don’t think his grief gives him a pass to spew misogyny on the internet.
The entirety of the compensation package exceeded $275K pre-IPO. Highly skilled so she was highly paid. A surgery four months into the job, and they still kept her. They seem to be pretty lenient, but not even a year in, and demanding a 4 month vacation? She couldn't just get the mental health therapy while working? Hard to fully empathize. She did a bounce back though and getting the bag on her own terms while including family.
Preach
That was my thing. How many times are you going to go on leave? How many times are you going to go on leave and think that job will respectfully want to keep you and put you in another role? That 500k job likely was not there anyway because she would be absent........from home.
@@iambounceback
Yup. Any other job would have had a 90 day probation or trial period or something. Looks that right after the trial period she assumed that she was 'safe'. Personally, I think the company fired her - no way to know what REALLY went down though.
She deff was taking advantage and folks like this make it bad for others … I like her and her content but after this video I started looking at her crazy
exactly!! no one is talking about that
As a technical recruiter that places people in these types of opportunities, she will find another opportunity. This pay in technology is normal. Her total package was a base of 275k but her base was 175k. That’s mid range in tech. She will be fine. She’s smart and will land another role probably paying more. For anyone not in the industry, it seems like a lot of money. This is fairly normal for tech professionals and they move around to different companies quite a bit. Imagine a start up offering this, what are the big box tech companies offering? Something to think about. She’s gonna be fine. Proud of her. Doing her thing!
This is sensationalism. She is a tech entrepreneur with multiple businesses. She probably can't manage it all.
She was promoting courses online. She still has multiple streams of income. Also her nurse practitioner girlfriend just moved in with her. They have money flowing in.
🎯🎯🎯🎯‼️‼️‼️
I applaud her for putting her health ahead of a paycheck. A lot of people will sacrifice their health for a high paycheck. She will bounce back and do better. She's very intelligent and driven. Bess to you❤
Same here.
Hey, if her health is affected then she did the right thing.
Shoutout to her for being able to quit this job and chill over life events that practically everyone deals with. She’s obviously in the drivers seat of her financial future and can have lower threshold of pain that allows her to relax and recover. She earned it.
My worst mental health episodes were always when I didn’t have a job a man is naturally a provider . The best feeling is knowing all your bills paid kids have everything they need and your lady don’t want for anything so ain’t no way I’m taking a 4 month vacation .
My mother died in 2017, the same year I bought my first house and got my highest paying job at the time in Tech.. My company gave me 2 weeks pto, which I didn’t not have at the time to help burry my mother with my sister… I didn’t quit I grind harder but I get everyone’s different and handle things differently
$275,000 a year is over $5000 a week. A WEEK! lol I'll fight through anything to get that a week.
My husband makes more than that. Every year, he's quitting his chemical contracts, and it hasn't happened yet.😂😂
I'm still not knocking her because she makes the money and if she wants to quit that's her business.
Bro facts AF... Almost guaranteed to retire early and have the family set for life.
@@genetikz2010 @Jayonase425 She already retired early before, she been making that money but before it was overseas, she good because she did the right thing with her money
I resigned my $175k per year overseas job (free apartment, free cable, free cell phone, SUV, gas card, 100% company matched contributions into a 401k, medical, and standard dental) after working for the company for almost five years. I resigned in order to be with my mother and father during my moms battle with cancer. I understand where she's coming from. Will she get another opportunity? I think so, as she's proven she's an asset. It's unfortunate that her issues came before the full 12 month period at the company.
Crazy thing is, I was my parents last child and she developed uterus cancer, had a hysterectomy and was done with it for 40 years. It was the medication 'Zantac' that cause her develop stomach cancer and it killed her. Ain't that a bitch?
If $275,000 a year is golden handcuffs then lock me TF up!!!
😂
Lost my six figure job in 2020. Still had a family to support so I found a job and 1/2 the pay. No time to be depressed. Found another job making six figures again and went through a devastating divorce. I had to leave my emotions at home and keep pushing. What is she going to do when hard times hit again. I hope she's learned from her emotional experiences.
I walked through my tears, graduated with a job and came out triumphant.
Difference between you and her she’s already rich. Beez is worth Ms
@@CreatedbyLeon You have to lead with that. This is the kind of stuff that amps some people up just to immediately leave and then find out its hard right now in the job market.
@@iambounceback if you grown enough to quit your job, you grown enough to deal with the consequences. It’s not another adults problem you are naive and extremely gullible.. too big to be mislead at that point.
@@CreatedbyLeon as a manager I see too many of our people amped when they see this kinda stuff and just quit. I completely agree with you though. It’s a lot of young hasty people out here now who don’t even think twice and end up in a bad position.
I mean….not everyone is moved by or a slave to money…you can have the best paying job there is & still feeling like offing yourself at the end of a shift. It’s important to be happy with work & not just after a dollar.
Anton, I agree with you. 1000%. The last seven years have been Extremely difficult. I pray and cry but keep it moving!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤
If I were in her shoes, I would go to therapy everyday after work to get by. But I would NEVER quit a job that pays $500K a year. HELL NO. But if she has more resources to be paid more, than more power to her. I hope she overcame her multiple crisis and go back to being great at her work and helping others.
Nope I wouldn't quit either.
The blind obsession with “chasing the bag” is definitely a sickness in our community! Everyone needs to do what’s best for their own mental health - within reason of course. Whether that means taking a step back or using work as a healthy distraction.
Good for her for now only taking her time off to deal with all the blows of life, but having enough foresight to use her high income earnings to set herself up financially by networking, her YT channel, and making other moves in Govt Tech Sales.
Moral of the story: No matter what you make, always set yourself to be in a better position than before
She will regret it in 2 years. Everyone has good days and the worst days - it’s discipline and consistency that helps you keep going.
Take a 1 week vacation if needed but do not take your foot off the gas
Please don’t make everything I just wrote in vain. She’ll only regret it if she’s been making bad financial decisions and taking a sabbatical.
Believe it or not, there are actually black people who aren’t financially struggling out here and can afford to take time off without skipping a beat. Don’t lump the few of us doing things right, with the many of y’all with the poverty mindset doing things wrong.
@@waflestix346 You do not know this women's finances and mindset. She retired before for almost a year because of he investments, she got that role and came out of retirement because of her network(too easy to pass up). When you have a million dollar+ portfolio plus making 20k a month from your social influence etc. You can quit your job and do what you want. She done put the work in and built her skills in tech overseas (tax free), with a computer science degree. She can go back in the workforce at anytime.
Mental health is important. I get “chasing the bag” (and I’m doing that myself), but therapy is extremely helpful. Sometimes, you need someone just to bounce things in your head off of. I don’t get a person being skilled at making money, yet not understanding the importance of being mentally able to handle it all. If you look at Dave Ramsey, he even has understanding of this.
She does commercials for AWS she’s good. 275k ain’t none to her. She been worth millions.
Exactly!
I'm not quitting my job. Life is life and there's always going to be some type of static and or roadblocks in life but I'm not a quitter. I've lost my mother when I got a great paying job in another state but I didn't quit. I just had to keep on stepping up for my life and survival..Remember, everybody is gonna go through the tough times. It's a part of life. Oh I give my grief to the Lord which keeps me going....Now that's how I roll...
Me too. What's wrong with working and praying and getting therapy? Not everyone can do that. She has a skill and training to make that money.
17:36 So let's talk about the elephant in the room in regards to her divorce. Number one, she sounds like she's a stud. For those who don't know, that means a black lesbian butch. Chances are, whomever she was divorcing was a woman who probably thinks that they deserve the grand majority of your salary. So, chances are, this woman quit her job. In fact, this actually makes more sense. Regardless of the other things going on in her life, she most likely did not want to pay alimony. So, she most likely quit her job so she could minimize her losses. And being that she's a woman herself, she's hoping that hopefully the judge will treat her like a woman and give her a break. So you've got two people who in a way are getting a break. But God forbid, if she is a black lesbian and the other woman adopted or had a kid while they were married, she is screwed, especially as a high earner. This actually makes more sense as we go along.
exactly the divorce/alimony part is what she aint' speaking on and nor should she, it wouldn't benefit her to have that information/sentiment floating on the internet. framing her decisions like this helps her the most
11:33 So I haven't watched the whole video yet, but as for the people who can't understand how she would quit a job that's so lucrative, you have to understand the type of person we're dealing with. And most will not, and they won't be able to comprehend her caliber. This is a lady who could walk into a job making over six figures easily. Double-digit six figures. She could quit her job, be okay, and not have to worry about getting by because of her skill set. Believe me, she makes what most of the people here in the comments are making probably in two weeks that it takes you all a year to make. So again, the caliber of person that we have here, she's able to quit whatever job she wants because whenever she wants to get back into whatever she's dealing with, she'll be able to do so easily, as opposed to someone with no skills. Because that's something most people here do not understand, especially for those who are college educated and have no skills. You could be college educated, but that doesn't mean you have the skill set for the workforce. You were probably educated in something, but really that doesn't mean anything if you have no skills. This person has skills. They could go wherever they want, and those skills will be valued. As opposed to, I don't know, a customer service worker who is able to get a minimum wage job and has to worry if they lose their job, if they'll be able to keep moving on as normal. She doesn't have that concern.
Boyce Watkins harps on not getting an education and says, that owning a business should rank supreme. Wait a minute ! If we are the Original People, we not only have the capacity to do both, but those that can, have an obligation to do so. She is not only educated, she is ambitious and has her Dad to support her. I applaud her efforts. HOORAH !!!
🎯🎯🎯
As someone that works in GovTech like Symone, I approve this message. You’re paid extremely well for your skillset in this industry. It’s also extremely easy to get jobs when you are skilled.
🎯🎯 "you can be college educated but still have no skills" 💯
Facts💯💯
Pay gap explained right here. No man on earth quits that job over being emotional or needing mental health.
Nope and he will do it for 50 years straight
My husband makes great money, every year he saying he quitting the industry. The money calls him back.😂😂😂
I tired to get him into tech with me. He said the money is not worth it for him. Now he helps me with real estate when he has time.
Bang there it is
You dam right, I’ll figure it out !!!!!
💯…. That’s the most valuable comment on RUclips.
She is financially good. She has been teaching thousands if people how to get into tech. I FOLLOW her and she is the reason why I am getting into govtech, but she did drop a lifetime bag 😢. At the same time she is a entrepreneur that will get rewarded for heloing others. Shell always be rich
Mental Health my Azz! I'm making 6 figures as a Heavy Equipment Tech and there's no way in HELL I'm walking away from this SWEET job. I can deal with anything but being BROKE and HUNGRY!
I think she’s in a unique position! I quit my job in August cos I had to choose btw working with the license I had, working harder and earning less vs getting a higher degree, working less and earning more! I chose to go higher and make more in the end! Now am picking up per diem shifts and going to school! I am blessed to be in a particular position to be able to that! Not everyone can do this. If I had a $275k job…I would have to think twice on quitting!😂😂😂.. good for her but this will not be the case for the majority of people! I am glad she’s happier now!
When I lost my father I kept going to high school and working than just sitting at home.
Don’t quit a job paying 275k especially if you’re getting alone with everyone in the company so forth & so forth. You can still be a Entrepreneur on the side. Do not let that good money go. I don’t care what she talking about period.
😂😂😂 Anton and that dance!! I’m the same way. I would have taken a 3 week vacation in Thailand and came back stronger than ever. QUITTING HECK NO! DONT PLAY WITH MY MONEY!!
I’m 100% remote, 6-8 mos out of the year with full autonomy in STEM since 2013. I have a small farm and by default Im a FT housewife. Im home 24/7, its not for everyone yet Im thankful to do what I want when I choose. So unless Im being physically beaten, force fed or my husband tells me to, I ain’t quitting at $128K let alone $275K. 🤷🏽♀️
Edit: men and women process and structure stress differently, yes. Yet this lady seems she already had a deep deficit prior to her landing this gravy job hence why her life events were a catalyst for her to jump ship.
I really wish she had sought FMLA for Mental Health reasons. I’ve known several people who have had their doctors to write them out of work for an extended period of time. She could have done a couple of months out while she got the counseling and therapy she needed and still had her job and benefits when she returned. There are laws that protect anyone who goes out on FMLA from losing their jobs or retaliation. At the same time, I do understand her why of wanting to go into business with her Dad and make even more money.
She was out 4 months or so for the surgery and then wanted to do 4 more. She had likely exhausted her FMLA /STD privileges the first go round. Remember all of this was under a year and if they went by hours worked only it wasn't enough.
FLMA is law for employers with more than 50 employees (she doesn't mention how many) and have accrued 1260 hours in. I dont think she was eligible for FMLA but who knows what the real deal was about. I'm starting to think that she took the job only for the resources: networking, software, processes, procedures, etc. then left to utilize all the information she obtained and started her own business. I aint hatin' but all that mental stress stuff doesn't add up. She had an agenda.
Update: FMLA is 1250 hours in and you've had to have worked 12 months prior and worked within 75 miles of from the office of where your assignment is.
@@salemdesigns65 Thanks for the info regarding FMLA. I didn’t know the requirements. I’ve just encountered a few people who’ve taken advantage of it.
Good for her! Clearly she is well connected and networked individual. She’s not hurting and this decision was well planned.
I follow her channel, SUPER successful in her field. She’ll get another opportunity @ a big bag
She already has a few more lined up. She's niched in her field. My cousin paid for her GOV tech mentoring. She's legit
This woman is not an anomaly. I have a female friend who made over 240,000 as an attorney for about 7 years. She couldn't handle it, along with the pressures of life. She quit and now lives in her brother's basement as she does temporary work at conferences. Pressure was made for shoulders, not hips!
she turned down $500k in this economy?? I lost all my granparents within the last two years. All of them. A cousin and an aunt all on the same side. I still had to show up to work man
So Sad - she had FREE health insurance she could have gone to FREE therapy and still stayed employed!
F that I still wouldn’t quit my job. Work helps people stay focused. Doing something is a blessing. Busy work keeps your mind going & off the sorrow. Good for her though I wouldn’t have done that.
Shes leaving information out. 1. "get married to a man( not a woman)that works and is supportive he wouldnt have let you quit. 2. Rent an office. You have money. 3. Take mini vacays, during the process. 4. Get a male therapist that will help you through this while "keeping" your job. She believe she can get another job like that plus she didnt talk about alimony.
Sales engineering is one of those jobs that's very difficult to get into, but if you can never quit. I know 2 guys right now making high six figures.
She said that she's making this video for anyone who is in the same position that she was in?!? Guarantee you that almost NONE of her views are anywhere near the position that she was in! Her world is so unique since she has other sources of income.
Get mental healthcare & let your job pay for it. A 4-month long vacation from a fairly new job?!? Ridiculous!
In my opinion, she's an extremely immature whiny baby. It's called adult life. Deal with it!!!! No way in hell would I walk away from such a lucrative job!!!! Hell, I'm not walking away from my current job, which doesn't pay no where near what she was making and stood to make. And I don't know anyone who can take a freaking FOUR-month vacation. I vacation every 3 months. But a 4-month long vacation? Where they do that at? LOL. 😀
My son was robbed out of approximately $15 million when a company dropped him after the final deal was completed or solidified. They cut him out. ( the middle man) and the buyer and seller started talking. And they cut him out. His % of the deal would have been almost $15 million. Shortly after that the Company open on the Stock Market. It's a medical company.
People don’t talk about how dirty the tech industry is and can be for some
@@ManjiWarlord I wanted to go public, but the attorney said we had a high burden of proof or something stupid like that. They shut down his email, everything because it was a home based business like she had.
People who make six figures to millions a year “off” themselves all the time because they live 💩 lives mentally…it’s important. So material items matter over mental stability Anton? Sounds good.
Props to you Anton! Production is the basis of moral. Therapy leads to psych drugs, and thus leads to serious problems, like more mental issues. Nope you’re right.
These comments quick to judge without knowing anything about her. She’s had multiple streams of income before the job came along and her wealth of knowledge will keep her employed when she wants to be. At some point you don’t have to be a slave to the paycheck
This is what happens when everything you planned just fall in place somebody who come from the struggle would’ve understood.
How tf are these studs landing good ass jobs like this
I couldn’t wait for Anton to see this video and break this one down.
"I believe in AND, not OR..." grown adult gems right there 💎
Good for her. I knew she had bigger plans in life.
So she screwed herself. Hadn’t been there for a year? You took off 2 months after your hire and then wanted to take a 4 month vacation, but still get paid? What the hell were you thinking?
Lmao go look her up for real.
@@gryan621 Done. I don’t see what’s funny though.
I think she did what others should’ve done before they went to their jobs and took their coworkers from their families. Everyone handles stress differently. Wishing her the best in her future endeavors.
I’m trying to figure where she came up with four months from. Like did she calculate a month for each issue? That’s oddly specific based off of emotions and feelings.
A man would work through it
3:05 No, that's not what golden handcuffs are. That's something completely different. So when you have golden handcuffs, usually it means you're an employee who is working for a company for a certain amount of time. So generally, anywhere from two to three years. And you will be paid a set amount of money through that time. Now, during this time, there are usually clauses if you quit what would happen or if the employer decides to fire you, what would happen. So generally, a person who has golden handcuffs is usually let go, but the employer is still going to pay them for the remainder of the contract, meaning if they're paid, let's say, 30K every month, that will continue until the contract ends. And at that point, you're allowed to work for someone else. So let's say you're a broadcaster. You're given a $3 million contract, which will be paid for a two-year term. Your employer decides they no longer want you on air, but they're not going to release you from your contract. So at this point, what's going to happen is they're going to give you golden handcuffs. So you're not allowed to work for anyone else, including yourself. So there's literally a non-compete clause in there and an NDA, because technically you're still under contract, but you don't have to produce any work. So that's where the term golden handcuffs come from, because usually when you're fired, you're fired. That's it. But when you've got golden handcuffs on, you literally not only have a non-compete clause, but you're still getting paid to literally do nothing.
To add, sometimes it’s not a NDA or non-compete for less complex positions. But something as simple as vesting schedules for company matches or RSUs. I was confused by his definition of golden handcuffs too 😅. Yours is definitely accurate
@@sjevents14 I think it might be shocking to you then that you could actually be a McDonald's worker, and I'm not saying these workers have golden handcuffs, but literally McDonald's workers or various other fast food workers actually sign sometimes in certain areas non-compete clauses where they can't work within the same industry. If you don't believe me, simply Google.
But even for non-complex positions or lower paying jobs near minimum wage, you would be surprised to see NDAs being given to staff. I remember there was a private equity that I actually worked for and was in management and staff, as a requirement of employment, would have to sign NDAs.
Keep in mind, this same company illegally classified their newly hired employees Call Center workers as independent contractors so the employer did not have to pay taxes on those employees. Of course, when a certain person within management cough cough helped these lower level employees on how to file what's called an IRS form, SS-8, and walked them through an Illinois law called the Wage Payment and Collection Act, they quickly changed this policy.
But of course, there were still NDAs for those employees and also newly hired employees.
She’s selling thousand dollar courses. I guess it’s easier to make money selling courses vs actually working
Struggling with finances will impact your mental health too. She fumbled a huge bag
She didn't say anything that would have made me quit like wtf? Then she asked for 4 months off and ain't even been working the job for 6 months, Bro they should have fired her ass lo
@@genetikz2010 It's okay she took on a lot more then what she lets on.
Trust me walking away from that kind of money would not be easy.
As for myself no way in hell I am going to be leaving a roll like that.
I would be in a comfortable position. Some people don't know how good they have so they walk away thinking that is a flex more or less.
YOOOO , so glad you reviewed this video Anton. I have been trying to tackle these snake oil I.T. types for a while , but I am too lazy to create the content. I think it is embarrassing that all the black tech content creators are talking about the 'shortcut' to a paycheck, and not teaching actual I.T. skills that pay the bills. This shit is scammy, and grifty imo, and I don't believe it. I have been in I.T. for 25 years ,and it pisses me off that it is no longer treated as an elite venue, but as some sort of 'finesse to the bag'. Why is it only our people approaching the job market this way? Why not just learn a skill and get paid? Also what is it that people think 100k is? like a magic number? i make twice that at my 9-5, but I have been working a quarter of a century. Also why are we so ignorant to the fact that most of these jobs only became available since 2020 and ALL THE LAYOFFs that are happening now are those same people getting kicked out of jobs they really were not eligible for.
Why are people so stupid?
Evidently no children, no man, no friends, no family no pets....
I took my imaginary glasses off too..."I am still listening 🎧"
Antoine “😮… dont do it” 😂😂😂
Now we see why Andrew Tate doesn't trust women pilots
They still hiring 👀
Never stop the bag just take a two week vacation in Maldives.
She wasted nine months of their time you agreed to take the position they didn't hire you to take 4 month long vacations that's why you got 275 free healthcare and being remote plus equity you should have started with your dad in the first place no one forced you to make content you put too much on your plate ain't no 4 month break
Fumbled the bag man mental health important but that dont mean YOU NEED A 4 MONTH BREAK??? Your an adult the world is cold and hard get over it and keep going god man well thats someone else's bag now!
Maybe I'm wrong, just maybe...but I feel like she wouldn't have quit that job if she had children.
You should not disclosed this stuff online, making 6 figure in cyber security and brag about it and specially you work with the government.
I agree especially ppl of color. I make six figures in cybersecurity and my business. I refuse to go live and brag. She's marketing and showing it can be done, she's made others successful. My cousin took her GOV tech mentoring, she was already a Software engineer. For me, I'm not bragging about my income publicly.
I don’t see the issue! She did what’s best for her and is the only one who has to deal with the consequences…doesn’t sound like she has kids. She now has her own government contracts probably making more money soon and seems happy…sounds like a win!
My company will start charging for the high deductible Healthcare plan (HDHP) next year. Had a good 8 year run 😂
Thank goodness for the comment section. She quit for mental health reasons and now I can move on with my life. Peace Anton ✌️
24:09 oh yeah, she could quit because she was fully in her bag with the other business.. respect!
Her lesson is that if you already have complete financial security and it's fine to leave a stable high-paying job for anther stable high paying job for which you have more passion. Frankly it's so simple that it's boring. That's why she needs a provocative title like "I quit 225K/Year Tech Job (The Ugly Truth About Remote Work)" to get people to click it. The problem is that not everyone reads articles or watches videos to get the context. So some percentage of people might be discouraged from going into high-paying stable remote work passed on her provocative title, thinking it's a bad thing when her video really says nothing of the sort.
I kept waiting for her to talk about overbearing bosses not respecting the boundaries of her personal life, some form of harassment or toxic employer behavior of some kind. What we got was "I was going through personal shit, I'm already rich, and that company wouldn't give me a 4-month vacation, so I took my vacation and did my other job that pays me just as well or better." She has the luxury to do that from already being established, but to how many people does this message actually apply vs. how many people will misinterpret it?
Was just watching her video. Mental health is important but she needed a FOUR MONTH BREAK?!?! When my father lost mother (& my grandmother was the glue of that side of the family) i don’t even think he took an entire month off.
Free healthcare, working remote, and equity are fairly common in the tech industry..... and unlimited vacation. I'm a solutions architect at a tech company .
🙏🙏 No one quitting their job they have for the jobs....not yet have....!
"This is a woman..."
You sure?
I’m not leaving a 275k job. My grandpa died during Covid was making far less than that and I was facing other issues but I kept going to work cuz that’s what a man is supposed to do.
She just came to the true realization of life.
I've been trying to get into cyber security the last year. It's been a challenge for me to say the least. But I'm sure the reward will be worth it in the end. But, for some reason, I've always had a feeling that the day I do get everything rolling in life...life will end... it doesn't deter me from chasing my goals. But seems to be like a dark cloud over my head.
I agree Anton, as a man we gotta hold it together when the world is crumbling around us. I’ve been through sh*t in 2022 to mid 2023 and still held it together. Some women are emotional so they experience things diffidently than us…
I remember this chic from pre corona Twitter. Every time she speaks I feel like it’s 🧢. Anybody with a little experience in the industry knows a snake oil salesman when they hear one.
Def some cap and the people buying courses to get in government tech jobs are wasting their money
Men are just built different. 🤷🏿♂️ Family members died here, I kept powering forward. I made time to grieve, but it only motivated me more since time is precious.
Tough times don't last tough people do!!
I'm not leaving a job that pays me nearly $300,000 a year
🤦🏾🤦🏾 I get it. Everyone needs a break. I'm taking my 10 days at the end of the year. Lost 2 grandma's this year. Got 1 grandparent left. But nowhere on the planet can u go to a job or being a business owner and take 4 months off. You can change generations with that type of money. We've let this whole mental health internet talk become a crutch. Life happens to us all. It's how u handle life when it happens to you is what matters. These Asians, Indians are coming for those jobs.
Honestly, they make it sounds like they just quit because of mental health but they quit because they had the financial space to do so. At the end of the video she built a business with a Contacts so even if she didn’t have a mental health episode who’s to say she wouldn’t just quit build her business anyways? It’s not for the same for those who truly are in a financial pinch to just get up and quit just because of my mental health.
“A very very very good explanation” 😂
That’s not what golden handcuffs means. It’s when you increase your lifestyle as your income increases to where you are forced to keep the position to maintain your lifestyle.
I was just about to say this is the difference with men and women. Most men will drown themselves with work (if you are moderately successful).
Anton brings up a good point about dealing with death. If they are in a better place, we should be going harder here on earth to make our living loved ones lives easier.
WHAT!....4 month vacation?....I PRAY for her. AMEN!💯
Smh....i work in mental health . Patients continue to work while receiving therapy and other treatment modalities. I believe theres more to story . Shes not sharing everything.
That’s real easy for you to say because you’ve never truly hit rock bottom mental health wise. Why do you think so many rich people off themselves with all the money in the world! Because contrary to what you believe right now, there’s nothing more valuable than a peace of mind over money!
Humble yourself sir, and don’t down talk am out how other had to help themselves in order to still be here.
I don't think sis only went through mental health therapy. It may be apparent that she went through physical therapy from her operations to turn into a man. Her job was a face-to-face process to meet and retain top clients. Maybe, it wasn't feasible to shock the government clients and the firms he/she worked for. So he/she started over fresh with new clients that wouldn't know or have a clue. It starts to make sense now. More power to him/her....
She works for the government and they will own you too if you get a government contract and yes you will have no time to do nothing else but make sure you come through with their contract they don't care about whatever else you're doing and then they'll take your ideas
