'I quit my job at AWS' | 6-Month Update

6 months ago, I quit my job at Amazon Web Services (AWS) where I was working as a Solutions Architect. In this video, I share an update on how things are going, and provide some advice for people who are also looking to start a side hustle.

It's been 11 months since I quit my Software Engineering job to create YouTube content full-time, and boy, is this video relatable. Massive congrats, Lucy!

You left a relatively stable high paying job to pursue what you love doing. You've already done something 99% of us cannot do. Congratulations already. Good luck with the future!

Good work Lucy, and I hear you. I'm struggling to keep up youtube with full time work...

[SundasKhalid]

Congratulation on all your progress, Lucy! You took bold decisions and it’s paying off. Inspiring. I’m so happy for you ❤️

Congratulations Lucy on taking this big and dangerous step, I think you're very brave to do this! Keep going and inspiring others (me)!

Awesome video Lucy! I'm sure I'm not the only person who would love to see your second channel come to life about what it's like doing YouTube full-time!

Thanks for sharing Lucy, and I like your idea of still working 9-5 in other not to under work or over work.

Go Lucy!! So proud of your journey and can’t wait for you to reach 100k very soon 🎉

This is so inspiring how you stepped out of comfort zone to help others!! I came across this channel to learn aws and it’s been really so helpful. I am so happy to hear that you are dedicating your time to self-care and connecting with other YouTubers. Maintaining mental health should be your first priority :). Good luck!

Lucy, you are a brilliant person. I'm glad you're achieving your goals 😊

Great video Lucy. Congrats on nearly making 100k subs. Very well deserved. Been following you for a while now and you've inspired me to go after a job in the cloud. I joined a cloud bootcamp in Jan and successfully completed it. I'm now working as a DevOps engineer apprentice and loving it. Keep up the good work!

Congratulations. I have absolutely loved watching your journey thus far! I wish there was a channel with the quality of this one, that focused on AWS CDK

[giuliaferraro]

I'd love to see videos about behind the scenes of being a youtuber! You inspire a lot! Thanks
