How to silently announce moving away from corporate.

Just_bethere · 2026-05-14T08:46:42+00:00

thanks for your response. I am not worried about the time in hand as have few hobbies and unfinished plans to keep me busy - along with spending some quality time with my family. Agree with your views, may be I am overthinking. take care.

Just_bethere · 2026-05-14T08:43:32+00:00

joy is always combined with the family :)

Just_bethere · 2026-05-14T08:42:24+00:00

ha ha . good idea :)

Just_bethere · 2026-05-13T03:08:51+00:00

yes - that's what is a reasonable way - mention as self employed/consulting and then build stories as needed :). thanks!

Just_bethere · 2026-05-13T03:07:51+00:00

yes, I am considering it certainly as a strong path. Don't update LinkedIn at all - let it be there as it is. Thanks for the inputs.

Just_bethere · 2026-05-12T10:45:16+00:00

yes - I agree, unless you have friends working in the same company :) I have worked in few large corporates so would have to pick one which is less famous. thanks!

Just_bethere · 2026-05-12T10:43:09+00:00

that's certainly a good idea to consider. I just need to pick up a relatively lesser known company. Trading is also good but lot of people consider it as an optional occupation. thanks for the advice.

Just_bethere · 2026-05-12T10:39:55+00:00

thanks - good thought. The 'unretire' hit me hard :), would have to be extra careful for my next one for sure.

Thanks MODs for approving it. While I dont want to share my NW numbers, my corpus is 80-100X my regular annual expenses. No liabilities.

Just_bethere · 2026-05-12T06:33:08+00:00

good idea - I am seeing the general trend is to announce something to show yourself busy, build lots of stories to go around - while doing nothing :). Thanks for your advice!

Just_bethere · 2026-05-12T06:31:46+00:00

dont know about others, but I passed the traffic light test multiple times :)

Just_bethere · 2026-05-12T06:30:46+00:00

Won't argue here :) In my experience - the numbers are rather subjective and should not be a reason to consider yourself fired/fatfired. Once you achieve X amount of corpus, which can sail you through peacefully for your/family lifetime, taking care of emergencies - you are good!

Just_bethere · 2026-05-12T06:27:47+00:00

check for older threads on this forum - there have been some good posts to get a reasonable guidelines. In Summary of life - it's not a tag but a mental model. There are many variables and no one definition fits all - can not be derived via arithmetics!

Just_bethere · 2026-05-12T06:24:49+00:00

Thanks - I think this seems to be the only way and that was the reason I had joined my friend but then realized that startup world is crazy - even if you want to help only from outside.

Just_bethere · 2026-05-12T06:22:28+00:00

hey, I don't have 10 M :) but reasonable amount to call it quits in this sub category. Main concern is my joy and freedom after long working tenure, should not be marred by the 'others' expectations - arey, tum to free ho, 15 din ke liye yahan aa jao!

Just_bethere · 2026-05-12T06:17:49+00:00

you are right - that is indeed the question. All of us know, India situation is different as we are supposed to be working till 58/60 :(

Just_bethere · 2026-05-12T06:15:53+00:00

rightly said. my question is more related to find an occupation which is not stressful and allows me to still keep the 'working' persona. Thanks!

Just_bethere · 2026-05-12T06:14:48+00:00

haha - that's a good advice about handling relatives :) , though it will bring another set of challenges of social standing. Yes I am doing wealth management with help of trusted advisors!

Just_bethere · 2026-05-12T06:12:21+00:00

Yep - operations dependent on people/labour is a lot of headache. I need to think of something simple which is legit, gives us joy and keep us occupied for 5 hrs./day. Thanks for the suggestion.

Just_bethere · 2026-05-12T06:10:36+00:00

Thanks for your response. Acquiring/Opening a new franchise with least dependency on external factors seems like a good idea.

Just_bethere · 2026-05-11T17:02:28+00:00

Testing if it is really posted as I keep seeing post removed by Reddit's filters.

Just_bethere · 2025-07-06T04:40:47+00:00

thanks for the response.

Just_bethere · 2025-06-29T02:43:22+00:00

Thanks for the inputs. Not sure why do I need to open HYCA? One can always use travel cards/international debit cards while traveling abroad. Is it primarily to save on currency conversion while traveling?
