In modern society, "not wanting to go to work" seems to have become the voice of many people, but if you really choose to resign, how should you live? Today, let us enter the real world of three people who resigned from large companies and see their current situation after becoming digital nomads.
Digital Nomad Conference: A window to a different life
In order to help more people achieve freedom of time, body, and mind, the author participated in a significant digital nomad conference. The conference was not only full of fun, but also provided a detailed report on digital nomads, covering their demographic characteristics, income status, living conditions, etc.
The dream-chasing journey of three naked poets
- Stone: Break the balance and explore infinite possibilities Shi Shi worked as an operator at ByteDance for six years and resigned a year and a half ago. He deeply feels the imbalance between work and life, and is eager to break away from the stereotyped life model and explore more possibilities in life. After resigning, he tried to get involved in the field of self-media and co-created with community partners. This experience allowed him to break away from the constraints of his regular job and find his self-worth in a new world.
- Terry: From large factories to independent innovation, embracing freedom and pressure Terry, who once served as the AI product manager of a major factory, resigned and started a new business - creating AI virtual escort products. When he worked in a large factory, he felt he played more of a tool role, but now starting his own business can unleash more creativity. Despite the freedom gained, there is always pressure, especially the choice of direction. He often wondered if he was going in the right direction. After all, big factories have greater certainty, and he just needs to concentrate on doing things. But now, everything needs to be controlled by yourself. In terms of products, his AI virtual escort has cute colors and a two-dimensional cute image. He himself often talks with AI and admits that AI brings huge value. After becoming a digital nomad, he initially enjoyed his free time and traveled to places like Dali. In addition, he realized that creating personal IP is crucial to promote the product, allowing others to understand the value of the product more clearly.
- Zhongyuan: Break through professional boundaries and witness the birth and growth of products Zhongyuan once worked for Alibaba and NetEase. Now he has developed an efficient reading tool called Teddy Reid, which uses AI to organize information flow and improve reading efficiency. He obviously feels that his career path and ceiling have been broadened. He has changed from being an executor to being fully responsible for the entire process. The upper limit may be expanded to partners, founders or business leaders. In the past year, the moment that impressed him most was undoubtedly when the product made its first money. At that time, the payment process was not yet open. He only left a link on the website. If the user is interested in purchasing tokens, they need to manually top up via email communication. As he was brushing his teeth and looking at his phone, he jumped with excitement when he received the $20 payment. This strong emotion far exceeds the feeling I had when I just graduated and got my salary. Moreover, the user continued to update four times, which gave him confidence in the sustainability of the product. Regarding the attitude of the other half, the girlfriend has a wait-and-see attitude. He needs to communicate and report on progress in a timely manner and provide positive feedback, as evidenced by revenue. Currently, the product has earned over $400. He also set a deadline for himself. If growth expectations aren't met, he'll go back to work. However, he believes that starting this business has made him more clear about his needs and accumulation direction, and the purpose of returning to work is also different from before.
Digital nomad group portrait and income analysis
The report shows that the common group portraits of digital nomads are around 31 years old, and most of them have INFP personality, a background in humanities and social sciences, and a bachelor's degree or above. However, the author found that most of the digital nomads I actually came into contact with had a computer background. In terms of job choice, more than 60% of people will not consider returning to work in a fixed location, and the longer their "service experience" is, the stronger their determination is. From an income perspective, the overall situation is not optimistic. More than half of new nomads earn less than $100,000, while the majority of digital nomads with more than three years of experience earn more than $200,000. There are very few groups with an annual salary of more than 1 million yuan.
The ideal place for digital nomads
In China, many cities are actively embracing digital nomads, such as Pujiang in Chengdu. These places may provide digital nomads with a more suitable development and entrepreneurial environment and help them grow together.
