so, I quit my corporate 9-5 job in 2020. and decided to move out of the field completely.
Moved to a small, tier 3 city, joined my family manufacturing business, cut off my circle, and completely shut my laptop....

...for 4 months.

then started developing solutions for my business, inventory management, invoicing, accounting, and other small apps.

and finally, after 3 years, in 2023, decided to move back to IT. but not as an employee this time, but as an enterpreneur.

developed a social media app, called Dialogbaaz.

probably coding is a disease that doesnt seem to go away. lets see where it finally takes me!

    Sounds good. What is the description of a tier 3 city?

    Sounds like you just need that gear shift to see where coding fits in your life. I know I definitely enjoy solving my own problems more than work

    @retoor i live in a small town called Rourkela, in Odisha (India).

    Its a sweet, small city. not very crowded. No IT companies here, mostly small private businesses, and a steel manufacturing plant (second largest in India), which controls half the city.

    not too many places to visit, to hang out. no scope for networking with other like minded people.

    no scopes for investments. it feels dissappointing sometimes, when I look back.

    The app that I have developed, now i need to run back to tier 1/2 cities for seeking investments or to make it big :(

    @LIQvID I also live in a small town that has nothing. The supermarket controls the half village. But I live beautiful in a well maintained park with much nature around me. Wouldn't go back to city. I have more energy here and life is cheaper. Also, I love village people, we all greet eachother. It's cozy. I live tier 3 😁
