Megan Lieu left data science after getting burnt out... Why did you quit... and how did you make $600K What were some signs that you were burning out? I was burned out, losing hair. Losing sleep. Losing weight. Losing my sanity. I was also put on a PIP... If you were to go back in time, would you have done something differently? I was so desperate to find another role quickly. I really rushed into it. I didn't see if it was actually going to be a cultural fit. When I lost that job, I lost my identity. I needed to be employed to fill this void in my soul. How in the world are you making $600K? I wouldn't have reached this point if I didn't see potential in myself in those other parts of my portfolio, which was content creation. But it doesn't have to be content creation. There are so many other avenues that you can monetize. Think deeply about who you are outside of your job. What areas of my life can I provide value to other people? Working a 9-to-5 is awesome. Figure out what's best for you... and just follow that path. What's one career lesson you've learned the hard way?
