It was $12.000 and I quit my job 2 months ago.

I was getting paid $12.000 per month.

I’m hearing that you are telling me, I’m nuts.
But the reality is different.

Story begun with Mobile App design

After 3 months of work, I and my team designed a wellness app. After the work is done, I got another 3 months job offer from the same startup. I signed 3 months contract and continued working.

My work became meaningless

At the end of my second 3 months contract, I realized that my job became so boring for me. I burned out. I had the best CEO in Silicon Valley. After I explained my situation to her, she kindly welcomed me. The main reason that I couldn’t continue was..

I needed to give more value

The main reason that I couldn’t continue was working on small design fixes all day. From designing a whole mobile app to fixing smalldetails was boring. Anybody could do that job. Even for less money than me.

I needed to give more value to people, I felt that passion.

There is no limit, really.
