I quit my job in banking and moved countries to chase my dreams

I decided to quit my job in banking after years of contemplation, hard lessons, and honest reflections about my life choices up to that point. I realised that I was already well on my path to living my worst nightmare, and that if I didn't change anything, I was going to live a life that I will regret.

If you're currently in the corporate grind and are at a crossroads in your life (like I was), my hope is that this video will resonate with you and push you towards chasing a life that you love, whatever that might look like.

🎥 ABOUT MY CHANNEL

Hi! I’m Tika. A 27-year old corporate dropout chasing a life on her own terms. I post everything I learn about how to live a healthier, wealthier, and more fulfilling life :) Come along for the ride x

I will ALWAYS root for people to do what’s best for them no matter what. Time is hella precious and nonrefundable. At the end of the day, we have to individually live our own lives. F*ck how others see what we choose to do. Life is short!

You go girl! I waited 13 years. Now, am actually earning far lesser but far much happier. No more unnecessary office dramas and I finally get to see the sun in the day.

I can totally relate! I left my job in banking and moved from the Philippines to Sydney. It was a tough decision, but I wanted to make a change and follow my dreams. Being out of my comfort zone has taught me so much, and it's inspiring to hear about others taking the leap too. 😊

[liene]

Oh, I feel this so much. I was in the same cycle. All of your points resonated with me so much. ❤

[BlockchainRealms]

Tika this one line enough you touched my heart "pursue a life that feels good rather than looks good"

[AnnelleLansangan]

Just found your channel. I resonate with so many of your points. Rooting for you 🎉❤

[pseudomonasaeruginosa]

You go girl! I wish you all the best. I’m going to make that step next summer and can’t wait 🎉

[joyfullencounters]

[Humour_as_Dead_as_Skin]

Wow, i really like your calm personality❤

[AJ-duom]

Hi Tika, welcome to Melbourne! Everything you said in the video rang so true. I'm ready to leap into the unknown too by leaving my "safe", relatively well paying but personally unfulfilling job. Wish you all the best Tika and hope you enjoy your stay here.

[xav]

You truly are very courageous. Thanks for being a role model. Regards Xav

[SigneJenson]

You're inspiring many..

hey Tika! i am so grateful this video stumbled upon my feed. i have a very similar background as yours - 25 y/o female, worked as a product manager in the fintech space in Malaysia for nearly 2 years, got severely burnt out, resigned and moved to Melbourne for my gap year since April this year. my interest leans towards the design field and im hoping to pursue it one day! i am so happy to see someone else who has such a similar profile and i hope we can be friends! meanwhile, i hope you're having the best time in Melb :))

[tothemoon]

Thanks the algorithm. I guess I'm around the same age as you and this, all, is what I felt. I'm not someone who's good at expressing myself so thanks for making a video - letting me know I'm not alone and I'm not escaping from the corporate reality.

I'm even watching this at my lunch break in my office; one of the banks in Msia lmao. This year has been hard for me, I have been preparing to quit for some time but each time I will say timing is not good & then again, who is to say when is the right time?

Given myself a due date and hopefully, take a leap of faith this time 🤝🏻

[dirtcopdualsport]

Really enjoy your channel! Your law of detachment video made a big impact on me and my life in general.

[SamSaysWrite]

Just subscribed! You're so inspirational, and I think you were the sign I was waiting for. Thank you for sharing your journey! I'm excited to see what's in store for you, Tika! 🎉

[biensnts]

Omg im currently at a crossroads and stumbled upon this video. Thank you 🥺🙏🏼

[dataArtists]

Well done Tika! Very sound thinking. Suggest you read the book of Proverbs, there are 31 chapters, read one chapter a day each month. Become wiser still! Praying for you.🙏
