Not really bro.
Left TCS after 8yrs in Bangalore ..staying in my hometown.. First 5months was nurtuing for Product management skills but felt like leaving tech jobs..I'm doing freelance writing and also doing ecommerce....
Now actually working for more hours but in the end feels more satisfying than getting a monthly paycheck..pressure is there but I'm in "home" village..yes not town..no air pollution.. No noise..
I'm.working on my first novel too..
Obviously I'm getting less than an IT job..But no rent,groceries are priced less.., vegetables are fresh,more importantly I won't be called as an outsider here(cos I faced it a couple of times)..But always a Kannadiga helped me more than my own state people..
Bengaluru was always kind to me.. But Home is Home..
Pursue what you love.. More important than that..Find what you are passionate about and "INVEST" you time in your passion.. Cos in the end..Money is always Ultimate!!š
