Fire Me I Beg You: Quit Your Miserable Job (Without Risking it All)

Are you miserable at your job? Do you fantasize about getting out?

Maybe you’re ridiculously underpaid. Maybe you’re stuck in a boring industry. Maybe your boss likes to slam doors. The truth is that many smart, motivated people would quit in a heartbeat if they weren’t afraid of the financial risks…and, well, the unknown.

Whether you want to upgrade your 9-5 or start your own company, Robbie Abed presents a foolproof strategy to find a better job—without stressing, worrying your family, or losing money. You’re talented. Talent is in high demand. You just have to know where to look.

In this accessible handbook, full of anecdotes, stories, and tips, you’ll learn how to reconnect with your interests, sharpen your talents, build a network, experiment with ideas for next steps, elicit job offers, and negotiate for higher salaries than your last. Oh, and how to quit your job with aplomb (goodbye email template included).

You’ve been miserable for long enough. Look at it this way: hating your job might be the best thing that could’ve happened to you. It’s a kick in the pants to learn survival skills for the coming jobpocalypse. As our machines get smarter, robots, cognitive machines, and the simple software on your computer will render old jobs obsolete. In other words, there is no such thing as job security.

The goal of this book is twofold: to help you get out before the music stops, and to teach you skills to find a job you love. Not just once, but anytime, anywhere, in any economic climate, with almost any salary goal.

You didn’t hear that wrong.

I'm an author, ghostwriter, and digital marketer. I'm also a contributing writer for Inc. and Huffington Post. Transitioning from IT to Digital Marketing & Career Advancement was one of the toughest transitions of my life. I went through a life crisis trying it figure it all out. Going through a life and identity crisis while your bank account also depends on the answer is something I hope you never have to go through. I went from being an expert in "IT Consulting" with 9 years experience to becoming a "Marketing Director" and "Career Advancement Expert" within 2 years. I not only destroyed the ceiling that was preventing me from advancing but positioned myself to never have a ceiling control my career and my life. I've never felt this free in my entire life. My goal is to help you learn from my mistakes. ------------------------------------------ INTERESTING FACTS My articles on LinkedIn have accumulated over 6 million views I built a strong professional network in Chicago with growing startups, investors & successful entrepreneurs by taking 250 coffee meetings in 400 days.
