Priya Left A $90K Marketing Job In London And Her Boss Still Can’t Believe It

Priya, 31, had a corner desk, a company card, and a LinkedIn profile that screamed ‘doing great’ while she quietly screamed into her lunch break. She’d been doing brand strategy for a cosmetics conglomerate in London’s Canary Wharf for five years when a fashion photographer she met at a rooftop party asked if she’d ever considered the other side of the camera. (She had. Every single day.) She handed in her notice on a Monday morning, booked a flight to Milan the same afternoon, and by spring was walking for two indie labels at Milan Fashion Week. Her old boss sent a congratulatory DM. She left it on read.
