Woman Quits 'High-Stress' IT Job To Drive Auto-Rickshaw, Earns Rs 60,000 Per Month | VIDEO

For one entrepreneur, what began as a routine auto-rickshaw ride turned into a memorable lesson about redefining success. During the journey, she discovered that the woman behind the wheel had once held a managerial position in the IT sector before making a dramatic career shift in search of a more balanced and fulfilling life.The experience was shared in a viral Instagram video by Dr. Nezrin Midhlaj, who said she was intrigued by the driver's confidence, positivity and calm outlook.In the video, Midhlaj engaged the driver in a conversation about working in a field traditionally dominated by men. The woman responded with ease, speaking openly about her professional background and the choices that led her to her current profession.According to Midhlaj, the driver revealed

that she had previously spent nearly a decade in the technology industry.“She said she used to be an IT manager for 9 years,” Midhlaj wrote in the caption, adding that the woman eventually chose to leave the corporate sector behind due to the stress and pressure that came with the role.Rather than continuing in the industry, she opted for a completely different career path and started operating her own auto-rickshaw.Midhlaj said the woman told her she now earns approximately Rs 60,000 per month and enjoys a greater sense of happiness and freedom.The conversation prompted Midhlaj to reflect on society's conventional definitions of achievement and whether professional status alone guarantees satisfaction.“Not every success story looks the same,” she wrote, suggesting that choosing inner peace over professional prestige may sometimes be the most courageous choice a person can make.The video quickly struck a chord with viewers online, many of whom applauded the woman's decision to prioritise well-being over a conventional corporate career.
