Parantap Chowdhury, a former Assistant Vice President at Square Yards, made a dramatic career change, leaving behind a six-figure salary to focus on his passion for writing and online business. After years of working in demanding roles at startups, he decided to take a risk and pursue a more fulfilling and flexible lifestyle.
"I quit the race 6 months ago to have a life, spend time with the people I love, and build a business that is remote, digital, and profitable," he wrote in a detailed LinkedIn post.
He further added, "I needed to get out figure it out." He mentioned that writing always fascinated him. "The question was: What do I write about? After fumbling for a month, I decided to- Niche down on a topic, Write with authenticity, write from experience."
Mr Chowdhury also mentioned in his post about things he does to strengthen his career as a writer, "Post every day. Last 90 days, 90 posts, original posts only, No copied content, Write niche-specific content on my experience, Help anyone who asks for it (for free), 20 high-value comments every day, 1 hour every day learning LinkedIn."
He concluded his post by saying that he would have earned, "Rs 9,81,000 in these 90 days if I had stayed at my job. I earned less than 10% of that. But I've lived more in these 3 months, than the 3 years before that."
The internet loved the inspirational post.
