Original Summary

I quit my job last week because I felt I wasn’t contributing enough. At the same time, I felt I wasn’t the right fit for the company because there was very little work. Let me give you some context. I worked as a product engineer at a startup, managing an entire product from end to end. I worked with the sales team and built systems around their workflow. They used to work on Google Sheets, but I moved them to a complete CRM with voice agents, AI, and other tools. I made their lives much easier. The product is stable now, and there aren’t any more changes to make. The founder is also an engineer. I felt there was no more work, so I told him I was leaving because I didn’t feel challenged anymore. He said, “Yeah, I think you can find better place coz it's non-tech startup there is no much job here” Apart from my job, I’m a tinkerer and a product builder. I like building SaaS products, and I do everything from design to deployment, including marketing. But right now, I don’t feel motivated to build anything. Recently, I read somewhere that if you aren’t tracking your progress, you aren’t serious about your goals. That made me look back at two things I used to track. My first ambition was to become a football player. I used to wake up early in the morning and go running. I could run 5,000 metres in under 17 minutes, and I used to participate in long-distance runs. At some point, I stopped because I felt India wasn’t a good place to pursue football. Then I moved into software engineering. Eventually, I got fed up with coding and started creating YouTube content. My father had a YouTube channel with around 200 subscribers. I joined with him and handled everything: scriptwriting, editing, publishing, AEO, and SEO. I scaled the channel from around 300 to 80,000 subscribers in three months. I remember achieving that because it was the only thing I was doing at the time. I followed strict rules and tracked everything. I used to post three times a day consistently. If I couldn’t create anything on a particular day, I had three backup videos ready. I would use those, then write three scripts the next day, shoot the videos, and replenish the backup. I did this every day, and that consistency and tracking helped me succeed. Then I join this company which i am working. Now I told a friend, “I feel like I should build something, but I don’t want to build software now . I do want to work on software, but right now, I’m not in the right mental state to code. I’m thinking about taking a sales job.” He said, “You can go back to your roots. You already cracked, and you’ve already figured out YouTube , content creation ,marketing. Why don’t you try that?” I felt that was something I could try, but I’m still confused. What do you guys think? Should I stop doing everything, rest for the next month, and then start again? I really don’t know.   submitted by   /u/According-Invite9092 [link]   [comments]
