I Quit My Dream Job to Take an "Adult Gap Year" ft. Julia Fei (Sr. Data Scientist at Notion)

I've seen a pattern of senior ICs deciding to quit to bet on themselves, but we rarely get to see what it took to get there.

Julia Fei, Sr. Data Scientist at Notion (and my dear creator friend), just made her decision to leave her dream job to pursue something she's always been curious about. But it was a calculated, deliberate decision that she spent years preparing for.


In this week's episode of Office Drama, we reveal the inner drama of Julia's thought process and the conversations she's had navigating the transition.

In this ep, we talk about:

→ why Julia quit Notion when she genuinely loved her team, her manager, and her job

→ how to know if you're actually growing or just getting comfortable

→ why "stability" is a scam

→ the double life of being a creator in tech

→ how to build a financial runway for the leap before you're ready to take it

→ and how to know when it's finally time to take a risk on yourself


This episode is for anyone who has done everything right and still felt like they were playing it too safe. Julia is one of the most calculated, self-aware people I know and watching her finally bet on herself after years of preparation is exactly the kind of story I started this show to tell.
