Hey Besties, did you enjoy this type of content? Thank you for letting me share my story 💚 If you'd like me to make another video about "How I Quit My $625K Job" then let me know! Comment down below with any topic specific questions you have for me!
How’d you get into the field? Is sales your natural talent that was discovered way too late? Why did you quit? I wanna try sales, how do I do what you do? Does your website and YT make anywhere close to that number rn? Why are you making content on consumer finance topics? Why not Wall Street focused career content?
Interested in how a poor person like welfare poor, receiving government assistance poor person can get rich quick that is not a scheme. My friend tried to get me into selling life insurance, but I really didn't agree with paying money in order to have a job..i.e. selling life insurance would be my job, but I have to pay a fee every month just to work and I have to go out and get the clients instead of just walking into something like State farm and saying I wanted to buy Life insurance. I like having a freedom job but it shouldn't cause more stress just to have it. The problem should not be bigger than the cure.
Hi Vivian, I’m from the….dare I say it?…”ok boomer” generation and wanted to let you know that one of the things I admire most about your generation is the courage and confidence to pull the plug on a job that is no longer in line with your values. I remember well feeling I had no choice about taking on extra hours or worse, the sexist harassment comments from the men who had the power to fire you for saying “its not ok for you to talk to me that way”. I know young people take a lot of $hit about getting a real job or having no ambition or being to woo woo because they want to be treated fairly, paid according to their worth and have opportunities for quality of life but I say Well done!! to any of you who stand up for yourselves. It’s not easy to do. And you’re right, 40 years is a long long time to take crap and not live your best life.
@@YourRichBFF Thank you for this video. I really honestly appreciate it and I really am honestly looking forward to getting your take or your opinion on how a broke welfare poor person can get rich without it being a scheme and without working too hard or too much. At my age, I already did all that.
@@lavonnelee80 hey Lavonne, I think you may have intended your comment for Vivian but it ended up as a reply to my comment. I am your age cohort but have no special advice other than spend less than you make and buy low, sell high. 🤣
I grew up in the hood and worked hard to get out. I earned a scholarship for engineering from the Army. After military service I went walkabout for nearly four years on ~$9/day. I could learn languages quickly and upon returning home was offered an international job in engineering that put me in 25-35 countries a year. I retired to farming going on two years ago at age 47 and now serve the poor and needy in our community. Good job, Honey. You keep being cheerful and awesome
Do what everybody else is doing if you are okay with only having what everybody else has.Information that will pay you everyday, you've got to stop saving all your money. Venture into investing some, if you really want financial stability. Choose to grow and elevate your mind by studying audios, videos, attending conferences that will give you the edge!
In situations like this,I always recommend to people on getting guidance at least from someone that understands price action and all that while you strive on improving yourself by watching videos and learning fundamental analysis.
Such an informative comment!Hope it is okay with you and that you don't mind sharing tips on how to invest. I have watched a lot of videos on YT but still can't understand nor set my mind at one thing.
@@thiagosilvano7859 I totally understand , I was able to grasp enough knowledge and got profits through successful investing with Daniel Christopher Downes . I would recommend him to anyone who is confused or has zero knowledge on what and how to invest.
Lately I’ve been thinking of buying cryptocurrency for retirement, I’ve set asides $350k to invest but along the line,I usually get cold feet, maybe because I have no idea what I’m doing,
@@nicolavalle1524 Daniel Christopher Downes can be found online through his name as he’s a financial analyst and trading expert who has shelled out theories and idea for years.
So relatable especially the Asian family expectation, I followed the script achieved everything on it and felt empty, I'm still in the process of writing my own, thanks for sharing 🙏🏽
Sorry to hear about your prior job challenges! Toxic managers are the #1 factor that ‘pushes’ top talent out of companies; so we’re glad you made the decision to leave & find a better opportunity!
That's good you shared this because people will stay at a job that they do not like for years and years until it becomes their identity. When you mention people, pay, and personal life I completely get it. That hit home. I remember going to work at 5 am and not coming home till 11 pm. The one thing I would include as well is that there is also another layer for parents or people taking care of others. These group would definitely stay at the job because of the feeling of job security or risk. It's sad because they will do a job they hate just so to provide. I got out of that mindset because it was unhealthy and plus you end up bringing work problems home. This was great.
Super inspiring… wow, that was NOT an easy decision to walk away from Wall St especially at a time where it seemed to your parents that it would have been the best path, but it really paid off when you were able to lean into your own strengths and in a way create your own career out of it. Congrats Vivian & thanks for sharing with us 🙌🏼 The follow up question people probably have is “how do I end up in a career like yours” and it doesn’t seem like there’s any one linear path except for doing what’s authentic to you and leaning into what you’re good at.
Inspiring. I have a similar story; quit wall street to be an auto mechanic, which was my passion. Went back to finance only to quit again and enter the Smart Home space. Chasing money brings misery, chasing happiness...money chases after you.
You are amazing. My wife works for a Japanese bank and is facing a similar decision to leave. She is considering leaving for all the reasons you left but is getting pushback from her Japanese parents. I shared your video with her to give her the courage to leave. Thank you for all you do. Happy holidays
Hi my Rich BFF! I am a Boomer, and I love your content! I like the longer videos more than the Shorts. I subscribed and I look forward to more educational and entertaining videos. I am proud of your accomplishments! Go girl!🤗💕👍
Love your story; at 29 I left my general manager position with a big box retailer to pursue what I cared about, I was a 30-something in college with 18 year olds, and man did it suck in some respects, but in all others I gained a degree, a lifetime of experiences, and a career I love. I love that you're paying it forward in a way that benefits you as well. a lot of colleagues are starting to become college professors on the side and I'm considering it for my future as well.
I got a job at a respected uni in Boston and 9 months into working there, I hated it. 💔 I took a job as a store manager at Sephora and was growing professionally but my mother told me it embarrassed her - it was strategic on my part and after 3 years I returned to higher ed with indispensable skills 👍 I now have my masters in higher ed admin and I’m a program admin in a workforce development dept at a private college. My family doesn’t exactly understand what I do but I’m well paid, have all the holidays off and I make a difference in the lives of first gen graduates everyday 🤍 I’m 100% in “my lane” and I love it 🙏
Totally understand... I worked hard but I didn't get what I wanted at workplace. Funny that people who has famous Daddy and Mommy can have a director job when they don't do or know their job well. I questioned my Asian family expectation doesn't fit in this era anymore... I need to be happy. I need to be myself. Girl, you ROCK! :) really enjoy your videos.
Thank you for what you provide us, I'm older and retired, during my first 5 years after college I had several jobs that most people considered career, I left each one till I found the right one and never looked back. Best of luck to you 👍
OMMMGGG I am soooo sorry that happened to you - THATS beyond awful - My husband worked for the same company for 34 years and had planned on retiring in another 6 with 40 years at the same company (in a variety of roles) and then a similar thing - new people came in and took over and he was OUT- yeah - it shakes you to your core and makes you question EVERYTHING you have done in the last 34 years--Glenda (and it impacted my adult kids now too because NONE of them have loyalty to a job and move up at every opportunity OUTSIDE of their job )
🙏🏻 for both you and your husband. I just posted the same thing happened to my husband. It’s so hard, I tried to stay calm for his mental support. He has worked so hard. There is no more loyalty fairness.
@@wildhotred You know while it was a difficult process to go thru you learn and things got much better - he got rid of an awful commute in California and works from home in Arizona - so it was a win but at the time it was very emotionally upsetting - prayers for you guys too - thank you
You are such an inspiration! Truly! I am in my 50’s and ready for my “second act.” I was not at all as savvy as you are when I was your age. However, I believe that there is no time limit and one can always pivot and change and do what you love or try something new. One of the best things I did was subscribe to your channel. I trust you and I’m grateful for your honesty and helping EVERYONE, no matter where you are in your journey. 😊
Hey I am the same (in my 50s) and you are right the young are very inspiring. Curious about how you are thinking about the change. I get paid well but hate the job.
I come from a Filipino American background and making life decisions that don't align with parents expectations is not easy. I have a heart for mentoring students, especially in sciences and engineering. I share with them everyone's career path is different. Thanks for sharing your experience!! Btw I found your content on IG, and I love seeing what tips you had to share! Keep it up! 💯
Wow that’s an amazing story! I love watching all the helpful information you put out. I know much of your content is geared towards younger audience which is great. I wish you where around when I was younger. I’m 54year and remember how much I was into prestige and glam, my life is much more simplified and I’m more focused on family and finances. I just want you to know that I appreciate all your hard work and great advice!💕
Kudos! Pivoting is not easy to do. I work for a big financial institution and am in a similar place where I am thinking of how to make that big change.
Thank you for sharing something so personal. It’s scary going against what seems to be “the right thing” to do, but it always pays off. Society is wrong a good majority of the time and as you said, we tend to glamify all the wrong things, so much so we sacrifice our peace for materialistic things. With so much content out there these days, thank you for putting information out there that is truly useful and life changing!
Thank you for making this video. And pray and thank you for all your contents on helping ppl. My husband’s company recently has a management shifting, and yes what you had experienced he also goes through. As we revalued if he can changed job/career, it was hard! Because we have a family. Big tickets financial responsibilities. And our ages-with no degree but only years of experience. We can’t called it “quit” …
I started my current job 7 months ago after being let go from my previous job [Panini]. It took me 13 months to find a new job. I'm in this job and I am not enjoying the pay at all, it is bismal for the city I live in and my expenses. I am currently in an interview process for a new job [Pt.3] so here's hoping. To anyone out there who is young, it is okay to take a risk at times. This job I'm applying for pays a little bit more but has more growth and bonuses. I am so happy to hear this story. Your quality of life should come first and foremost in any job.
I just love your energy and humor. As long as you are happy with your work life it's ok. Having a strong relationship with your family is a blessing that makes you a better person. Happy Holidays!
Thank you for highlighting my comment. Sometimes what seems to be a bucket of gold, can just be a sweat box. Most people don't mind working hard, but to do several jobs and not get paid is never a good idea for any self respecting worker. You go WOMAN!!!!!
I really look up to you. You chose the tough path and you succeed, congratulations. Being an entrepreneur is always looking for ways to improve yourself, it all depends on you!!!
I am so sorry in this day and age, you were treated so poorly. Racist and sexist comments are totally unacceptable! For years, as women some of us unfortunately just accepted it. Although you could be my daughter, I am learning so much from you. Love your channel.
Vivian, thank you for talking frankly about your experiences. The first time you referred to yourself as a "Wall Street girlie," I thought, "She doesn't seem like the type who'd call herself a 'girlie.' I'll bet someone else applied it to her in a derogatory way, and now she's taking it back." Gotta say, I'm here for it. There's nothing quite like success to put sexists in their place.
Yes! - when I first hear about her was through a quick tik-tok and the beginning was yikes! ..but the advice was good so it made me curious ... now I totally think she uses the term somehow in a real way but somehow in an ironic way which now hearing a bit more of her story it totally fits ... makes me appreciate her more 🥰
Very impressive. It takes so much courage and foresight to make these hard decisions. thank you for sharing your story and motivations so others can benefit 🙂
I feel every words you say and it makes me so emotional watching you.... As an Asian my self, I know and I can relate to you. Long work hours is not a joke that's why I'm thinking of early retirement or be PT. I wish I can give you a warm hug ....Thanks for sharing. and good luck to you.
Thanks for sharing your evolution to greater things and doing what you love. You are an inspiration for taking a leap and for the great info you provide. And congratulations for being a Forbes 30/30 Glad to be a subscriber. This kind of content is great
There's another Ew Toober, ironically a Chinese female, who left the corporate world and went full time overlanding. The last I heard, she's learning metal fabrication and loving it. I'm Asian and my parents wanted me to go in the medical field or become an accountant. I ended up being a nobody working an hourly job but still retiring fairly young. The job was just an end to a mean. I didn't necessarily love my job, but it did provide a comfortable living. I bought three homes, paid cash for my son's college (5 1/2years) and never really needed help.
Hi Vivian, I've been watching you for months now. Thank you so much for inspiring me to make a change. I wish you could teach some social media strategies. I'm 52, I have had a retirement since 15. Just hustling Vivian. Thank you for being you....
Wow! Some of my degrees are in math, but I’ll guess that when you look at $95K for 80 hours/week in NYC, you would have been better off working at 2 full-time jobs in Nowheresville, USA (not that you would want to).
this is wonderful news! i appreciate your candid experience. my marriage ended and suddenly i became responsible for funds that my ex managed. i have no idea... please advise
Great Question, Rich•BFF How Did You Land Your Job In Media? What' Transferrable Skills Will I Need In-Order Too Get Started with What You're Doing⁉️⁉️⁉️⁉️⁉️⁉️🧐👩💻🥳 ????? I Want To Be Self-Sufficient, In-Order Too HELP ME so Then I Can Grow In-Order Too HELP Other's😓 Especially The Children'🚸🚸🚸🙏
How about a video that will encourage 10 year olds and teens on how to invest in stocks etc … investing 101 !!! Also please consider having a week long seminars for teens on how to be smart and frugal with money so they have money to invest for their future . And give them confidence to do so and not be afraid of it . My 10 year old granddaughter and I watches your videos and she adores you . She asks me if you have a new one every-time i see her . She looks up to you . Lol ! I hope she will be as smart as you someday soon . We are your besties for sure . Thanks for sharing your wall street journey with us .
I'm saddened about your experience at Wall Street office... Corporate America culture stinks most of the time..manager are not cool.but the money crazy.... Thx for sharing...
SCAM ALERT: Someone is impersonating Vivian in the comments and telling you to WhatsApp them. It’s not Vivian telling you this!! Make sure “Your Rich BFF” is the username, not some random number!
Thank you for sharing your journey! I’m so angry about your experience with racism and sexism in the office. It’s inspiring to see you walk away from that toxic environment. Questions: How did you find a $625k job in media sales? Did you negotiate that number? Where do you find jobs like this?
My parents weren't anything like your parents. My parents were uneducated and not into helping me and my siblings develop. At age 69, I'm ok with it now. I feel successful simply because I survived.
Hi Vivian! You are my new BFF and I am your new BESTIE! So happy you showed up in my feed as I have watched your shorts and implemented them! So helpful. I would love to see a video on why in the world you would quit a $625k job! Are you coocoo?🤪 I need confidence to quit my job and pursue my passion and I’m scared. Keep creating more content!!! Love it! Your BESTIE, Amy from MN❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉

625K 👀
It took me a lot longer to realize that who you work with is as important as what you do.
How’d you get into the field?
Is sales your natural talent that was discovered way too late?
Why did you quit?
I wanna try sales, how do I do what you do?
Does your website and YT make anywhere close to that number rn?
Why are you making content on consumer finance topics? Why not Wall Street focused career content?
Yes I’m interested on your next video. Did you lose a few contacts when you resigned?
Interested in how a poor person like welfare poor, receiving government assistance poor person can get rich quick that is not a scheme.
My friend tried to get me into selling life insurance, but I really didn't agree with paying money in order to have a job..i.e. selling life insurance would be my job, but I have to pay a fee every month just to work and I have to go out and get the clients instead of just walking into something like State farm and saying I wanted to buy Life insurance. I like having a freedom job but it shouldn't cause more stress just to have it. The problem should not be bigger than the cure.
I’m sorry your former boss was so disrespectful to you Vivian, but I’m glad you left that job for a fresh start.
Hi Vivian, I’m from the….dare I say it?…”ok boomer” generation and wanted to let you know that one of the things I admire most about your generation is the courage and confidence to pull the plug on a job that is no longer in line with your values. I remember well feeling I had no choice about taking on extra hours or worse, the sexist harassment comments from the men who had the power to fire you for saying “its not ok for you to talk to me that way”. I know young people take a lot of $hit about getting a real job or having no ambition or being to woo woo because they want to be treated fairly, paid according to their worth and have opportunities for quality of life but I say Well done!! to any of you who stand up for yourselves. It’s not easy to do. And you’re right, 40 years is a long long time to take crap and not live your best life.

Vivian, thank you for talking frankly about your experiences.
The first time you referred to yourself as a "Wall Street girlie," I thought, "She doesn't seem like the type who'd call herself a 'girlie.' I'll bet someone else applied it to her in a derogatory way, and now she's taking it back." Gotta say, I'm here for it. There's nothing quite like success to put sexists in their place.
Yes! - when I first hear about her was through a quick tik-tok and the beginning was yikes! ..but the advice was good so it made me curious ... now I totally think she uses the term somehow in a real way but somehow in an ironic way which now hearing a bit more of her story it totally fits ... makes me appreciate her more 🥰
I'm so glad you shared. I always thought you're someone who looks down on other people because of how talented you are.
Thanks for sharing, your story is truly inspiration for those that seek purpose and meaning. Cant wait to see your next video! You are kickin it girl!
Real BFF, thank you for the real you.
Very impressive. It takes so much courage and foresight to make these hard decisions. thank you for sharing your story and motivations so others can benefit 🙂
Great video, lots of information. I first started watching you on You Tube Tik Tok videos. I'm glad I found you. I send your videos to my girls.
I feel every words you say and it makes me so emotional watching you.... As an Asian my self, I know and I can relate to you. Long work hours is not a joke that's why I'm thinking of early retirement or be PT. I wish I can give you a warm hug ....Thanks for sharing. and good luck to you.
Thank you for sharing your story and for ALL your video's!!
💓
Thanks for sharing your evolution to greater things and doing what you love. You are an inspiration for taking a leap and for the great info you provide. And congratulations for being a Forbes 30/30 Glad to be a subscriber. This kind of content is great
Thank you for sharing!!! I’m going to remember some of those phrases for if/when I need to evaluate my current posution
Wall Streets loss is our gain! Thank you.😘💞😺
There's another Ew Toober, ironically a Chinese female, who left the corporate world and went full time overlanding. The last I heard, she's learning metal fabrication and loving it.
I'm Asian and my parents wanted me to go in the medical field or become an accountant. I ended up being a nobody working an hourly job but still retiring fairly young. The job was just an end to a mean. I didn't necessarily love my job, but it did provide a comfortable living. I bought three homes, paid cash for my son's college (5 1/2years) and never really needed help.
Hi Vivian, I've been watching you for months now. Thank you so much for inspiring me to make a change. I wish you could teach some social media strategies. I'm 52, I have had a retirement since 15. Just hustling Vivian. Thank you for being you....
Thank you for sharing

I really love your videos. You make it easy for me to understand the content of each video. Hugs and Happy holidays.
I really appreciate how you share what you know ♥️
Smart girl.. hope my kids gown up like you
Wow, what a journey :) glad everything worked out for you!
Wow! Some of my degrees are in math, but I’ll guess that when you look at $95K for 80 hours/week in NYC, you would have been better off working at 2 full-time jobs in Nowheresville, USA (not that you would want to).
Of course we want part 2!
Thank you for All You Do! You are Star ⭐️

Your story is relatable. I like it.
Awesome content! You have a mass following in such a short time. Very impressive! Do you do any content on building a social media brand?
How about a video that will encourage 10 year olds and teens on how to invest in stocks etc … investing 101 !!!
Also please consider having a week long seminars for teens on how to be smart and frugal with money so they have money to invest for their future .
And give them confidence to do so and not be afraid of it . My 10 year old granddaughter and I watches your videos and she adores you . She asks me if you have a new one every-time i see her . She looks up to you . Lol ! I hope she will be as smart as you someday soon . We are your besties for sure . Thanks for sharing your wall street journey with us .
Wonderful video! Thank you for doing what you do 😀 I wanted to ask...how did negotiate the upgraded salary at the tech job?
Love this video Vivian, you're an inspiration.
I love your advice on money. Thank you.
I'm saddened about your experience at Wall Street office... Corporate America culture stinks most of the time..manager are not cool.but the money crazy.... Thx for sharing...
SCAM ALERT: Someone is impersonating Vivian in the comments and telling you to WhatsApp them. It’s not Vivian telling you this!! Make sure “Your Rich BFF” is the username, not some random number!
I don’t mind the jokes, but I’m glad that you chose yourself and your health, and choose to help others.
You are a GEM!!
“Is that a kimono?” OMG, nobody deserves to be spoken to like that at a workplace.
I left a job once because the new boss was a jerk. No one needs the anxiety of a mean boss.
No one. Go find your success, after I've done it I belive anyone can do it too. It's not easy but we gotta know what we are worth
Thank you for sharing your journey! I’m so angry about your experience with racism and sexism in the office. It’s inspiring to see you walk away from that toxic environment.
Questions: How did you find a $625k job in media sales? Did you negotiate that number? Where do you find jobs like this?
My parents weren't anything like your parents. My parents were uneducated and not into helping me and my siblings develop. At age 69, I'm ok with it now. I feel successful simply because I survived.
Hi Vivian! You are my new BFF and I am your new BESTIE! So happy you showed up in my feed as I have watched your shorts and implemented them! So helpful. I would love to see a video on why in the world you would quit a $625k job! Are you coocoo?🤪 I need confidence to quit my job and pursue my passion and I’m scared. Keep creating more content!!! Love it! Your BESTIE, Amy from MN❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉
Keep up the great work!!!
