Leaving my job to travel didn't go as planned. I was too hasty - and the job market has been tougher than I thought.
Briefly

Jay Wallace, a 34-year-old from England, left his frustrating sales contractor job in March 2024 after months of uncertainty. Initially excited about the sales industry since embracing recruitment in 2013, Wallace found self-employment challenging, lacking clarity and feedback. Upon leaving, he aimed to travel and explore new business opportunities but faced difficulties in the job market. He recognizes that his decision to leave may have been hasty and that his aspirational plans didn't materialize as envisioned.
I felt I had too much freedom and not enough clarity. Because I couldn't tell whether I was succeeding, I felt like I was failing.
But chasing freedom didn't turn out the way I'd hoped. I've since struggled to navigate the job market and find work that I can do to support myself.
