Last week I left my IT-contracting business and stared a high-pressure corporate sales job. That’s right - I went back into Corporate after swearing I’d never to that.
Three things spurred this change:
- I was absolutely done with IT1
- I had natural aptitude for sales and networking
- It’s one of the best companies in the fastest growing industries that pays me handsomely
A few changes I noticed w.r.t. daygame:
My time is a lot more limited now. So far, I only managed to quit work at 6 PM (which isn’t too bad really) but in February it’s already dark and often cold and rainy at this time. Thus I only went out to do sets on Saturday.
On Saturday, I felt a slight exhaustion but I suspect it was more from walking in near freezing temperatures for hours. There’s not that many sets in Amsterdam unfortunately…
The good thing is that I feel this work one hundred percent aligns with my character! I’m actually proud of the work I’m doing and I feel that I found my place in the world. After work, I’ve always felt energized and in an extremely social mood. Compared to my programming days, where I often felt socially awkward and anxious, this is a massive improvement.
I look forward to the spring and summer days where I can take my momentum after a busy workday straight onto the streets.
This deserves a post of its own, but I was tired of working with social retards who don’t get laid. ↩︎
