I've been interested in computers since I was a child and wanted to pursue a career in computer science since the eighth grade. I did my bachelor's degree in computer science at Visvesvaraya National Institute of Technology in India from 2012 to 2016. I sat the exam and got decent marks, so I applied for several master's degrees in computer science in the US in 2017. I got into the computer science master's program at Stony Brook College in New York to start in 2018. All the computer science students worked and lived on the same campus – it felt competitive, but also motivating.

☆ I sacrificed my honeymoon and almost cut my maternity leave short for work. I've learned to prioritize my family and set boundaries.

Working hard didn't protect me from getting laid offAfter college, I worked as an editor in 2008. After a year, I landed a job working for a small school. This time, I took the approach that work is work and didn't want to give so much time to it. While in the office, my boss asked me for updates on the project I'd been working on before taking leave. I love my work and work hard, but it's just a part of who I am — not my entire identity.

☆ I work 2 full-time jobs from 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. I'm sacrificing sleep, friends, and hobbies so I can retire in my 30s.

I started working two jobs while I was finishing my sociology and business major in college in 2021. My marketing job was flexible, so I could do my college work during my lunch breaks or quiet periods. I kept up my 2 jobs after collegeIt felt natural to continue working two jobs after graduating from college in 2022. I kept up my customer service job, working 65 hours over two weeks. If you work two full-time jobs and would like to share your story, email Ella Hopkins at ehopkins@businessinsider.com.

☆ I left JPMorgan and escaped the 'golden handcuffs.' I have no regrets.
  + stars: | 2024-05-16 | by ( Ella Hopkins | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +6 min
I started working in a towering office building in London, and I felt completely out of my depth. In 2016, I was about to move into an area I didn't want to work in when JPMorgan headhunted me. I had been stuck in golden handcuffs, but I was lucky that I didn't have some of the financial pressures other people have, like children. But I get much more of a sense of purpose from my work and feel like I am supporting people. If you left a high-paying career and would like to share your story, email Ella Hopkins at ehopkins@businessinsider.com.
