Leaving job to pursue passion. Ex-corporate warriors, was the leap worth it?
People who've walked away from high-paying careers to pursue their passion, was it worth it? What unexpected challenges did you face, and what advice would you give to others considering a similar move?
I did the same, wasn’t worth it. Lost 12L in savings and 2 years of adding to that 12L in savings. All-in-all, it effectively set me back by at least 1Cr in value has I just stayed put in my job and invested my savings

Did that for 3+ years. Lost around 10L and took me 3 additional years to be back where I was careerwise. Needless to say, the impact on my financial trajectory was huge. I would suggest passion persuers to stay put and gather funds till there can FIRE and leave it forever.
