Why I Fired Myself From My Job

The people who know me, know that I’m kinda crazy… do what I want. Not afraid of taking risks.

Bold. Or stupid?

The past 18 months of working at Nintee, was nothing short of an experience.

I don’t mean work experience. I mean the kind of experience you get at a luxury 5 star hotel.

I don’t even know why I’m comparing Nintee to a 5 star hotel, lol.

Maybe it’s highly subjective. Perhaps it is specific to the individual.

For me, it was. Like a 5-star experience.

As I delve into the details of how that came to be, it’s hard for me to pin-point a specific thing that went well.

Maybe ‘twas the culture. Maybe it was the team. Or maybe it was my experience of working with Paras?

I don’t know…

I think it was a feeling.

A feeling of –

I trust youYou can be yourself hereWe’re all in this togetherLet’s learn this. And this. And that.How can I help you to be successful?

Minimal rules. 0 hierarchy / bureaucracy.

I could move fast.

I could get anything done.

I felt incredibly powerful. And lucky, to be working at Nintee.

For someone who loves their craft, what could be better than this?

This is also, probably why, the most amount of learning in my career has happened at Nintee.

Forget accelerated vesting. I’m talking about accelerated learning.

On top of that, I got paid to learn.

I got to work with beautiful human beings.

Why would anyone leave such an organization?

Well, because the company doesn’t need marketing right now.

It needs market-product fit.

It needs product.

So if the company doesn’t need marketing right now, what’s the point of staying in the company as a marketer?

I don’t like rent-seeking.

I have some friends though, who enjoy it.

For me, there’s nothing more dry than wasting / killing time at work.

I have to see an immediate impact of what I’m doing.

There are only so many tomorrows…
