I Quit My Job as a Software Engineer to Stay True to Myself

If you stay true to yourself, you'll make it through anything. This is my story of how I quit my job as a software engineer to pursue my passions, find my purpose, and embark on this crazy journey! Exploring cozy entrepreneurship, content creation, & creating Cozyleigh Studios with my family, where we're able to create without bounds, and bring our ideas to life for the world to experience.

I hope my story inspires you to find your destiny, and to always stay true to who you are. It's okay to evolve. After all, that's what makes us beautiful, unique, and human.

See you in my next video :) Love, Maisy

I started crying with how you speak of your sister, like how you wanted to pave a way for your sister to be able to follow her dreams and explore her art in a way where she can have financial stability too. You are an amazing big sister

I’m trapped in a job in which I’m told what to do, even though the person who manages me doesn’t have any idea, and of course you can’t complain or make any constructive criticism. It’s a company and a job without any kind of future. If I haven’t quitted yet it’s because of the salary to pay the bills, of course, but if not I totally would quite today. My dream is to start a digital business and start working on my own. I hope one day I can be in this position like you. This video has been really inspiring ❤

[SpoofyJuliani]

Truly inspirational story. Most people go to college believing that they are owed their dream job after graduation, instead of deciding to use what they learned to create their own opportunities.

Thank you so much for sharing. Your entire journey up to now was absolutely inspirational. I wish you the joy and success of you and your family's success!!! 🙏🏿

I still remember finding ya when ya started doing coding stuff during late 2020. It's been a fun journey watching ya evolve through the years though Maisy into a indie business through the years. Also finding you helped me to not only stick with coding, but also get back into other hobbies as well such as 3D enivorment creation learning and gamedev on the side as other hobbies. I also hope someday to start up my own indie studio in the upcoming future. you've been a inspiration. I would love more videos like this on indie entrapanuritships. :)

Hi maisy! Im a lurker in your channel but I’ve been watching your channel for quite sometime now and I’m happy to discover your content. Back then I used to work in a local animation studio in my country but i felt so burnt out and felt like what i’m doing, depite learning a lot, is not making me grow as an artist. I left the studio and I couldnt be happier but now I still have to find my purpose or being as an artist. Im still lost but this video made realize to not rush things and take time to discover what I wanna do in my art career. Thank you so much for sharing your story 🥰

[alottalife]

Thank you so much for this chat. I got goosebumps while you were talking about “staying true to yourself”. It is really inspiring. Also loved the graph and it’s definitely something I need to think about. I’ve also loved your cozy vibes since the beginning. The moment you start talking in your videos i immediately feel more at ease 🥰 thank you so much for your wholesome content!

[ungracefullygracee]

This was soo inspiring Maisy!! You’ve come a longgg way and I’m so happy I followed you along on your journey! It’s cool how your cozy videos have evolved And how you turned your business into a family business. Also love the throwback pics of you guys! You guys are so cute! Forever will have my support ❤️

[markcampbell]

Happy for you! Been considering leaving my job as well so I can focus on fully moving. It's been one of my big goals to start in a new state.

[dreamhazy]

I absolutely love that you have been able to follow your own path and staying true to yourself. I too am a programmer and designer and I see myself in you. I hope that your business continues to grow! ❤

[seatonng]

Your team's vision and story is inspiring. Thanks for sharing with the world your gifts.

[juamifule]

This video is amazing. I really can't help but root for you on your journey.

[chrxtalsnow]

your warm and cozy videos is what got me to follow you. i agree with you - the other tech channels weren't my style either 😅 as someone who was unsure about getting an engineering degree, followed through with it, and didn't really care for it, i loved hearing your story

[vanillaclaud]

Hello Maisy, such an inspiration! I've been following you since your coding video days and I can really relate to your experience. I'm also a Software Engineer, but I have a strong passion for design and I crave more free time to explore my creative interests. I recently made the tough decision to resign, hoping that pursuing my passion is the right choice. I believe that following what you love is important, even when the path is uncertain. I'm optimistic that this decision will lead to a more fulfilling career and a better work-life balance. 🙏🏻✨

[mounishdholakia]

I am walking on the same path. I love the design and web application development. Your videos allow me to connect to my passions and interests especially in programming. I love historical inventions and archaeology and want to design products that bring back the memories of the past to the present and future and let people enjoy using it.
Keep going, I love your videos.

[LordEra]

You're amazing! I love following your journey ❤

[Snowdrop]

Maisy, you are so, so amazing!! Oh my goodness, you inspire me so much. I have been considering going to college for a tech degree, and am a little hesitant. Your videos inspire me every time I see one of them!!
I also LOVE your cozy set-up and hope to raise enough money to sort of copy it someday!! It looks beautiful.
Thank you so, so much!! <3

[KillerTacos]

Fantastic video. Wishing you the best of luck in whatever you pursue next!

[EmJayAnieta]

Awesome! I did this last year and I have never been happier. I still work but remotely and on my terms
