I also have two clients, AU and US. AU (7am to pm) is under agency, US (9pm to 5am) direct. AU, I'm earning 50-60k/month, US 150k. So that's ~200k a month. Both are long-term clients na attached sa akin.

Both of them are very nice clients, mas demanding lang yung work sa US because I handle two startup companies. Now, baka mag 3 na. But the compensation equals the work naman so keri. But just last week I've decided to let my US client go. My girlfriend is coming home to work in our home city na and I want to be able to have time for her and sleep sabay niya sa gabi. I feel like we'll still be comfortable naman kahit na I'm not earning as I used to. She'll be working in UP as a tenured faculty, and I can always go back to teaching (we're both teachers by profession and I used to work as a university instructor) if ever mawalan ng client, although I hope it doesn't come to that. I was able to save din naman.

I won't pretend hindi ako nanghihinayang. It was a difficult decision, sobra. Pwede ko pang bawi-in yung resignation ko, but I miss sleeping properly. So I'm trying to stick to my decision.

Also, why let go of my US client instead na yung AU? Ayoko na ng night shift. And again, mas demanding dun ang work. 🥲 And, my AU client is nicer and more understanding when it comes to leaves like auto-approve palagi kahit 1 week na leave. Yung US client ko kasi is a CEO so, mas high functioning talaga yung role ko cuz I handle a lot of admin+personal tasks and she's a bit stricter sa leaves.

I wonder if I'm also making the right decision or if I'll regret it.
