Why I Quit My Job at 31 | Unemployed and Starting Over in China🇨🇳 With No Income

I quit my job at 31 — no plan, no income, no safety net. As a unemployed woman living in Shanghai, China, I decided to press pause and restart my life. In this video, I open up about why I left after three years of burnout: working two full months without a single day off, doing the work of three people, watching my salary never change, and getting zero compensation for the overtime I accumulated. I also share honestly what it's like to be an unmarried 31-year-old woman with no job in China — the social pressure, the double standards, the age anxiety, and why I still believe taking a break was the most rational choice I could make. If you've ever felt burnt out, stuck in a job that drains you, or scared to press pause on your own life — this video is for you. I'm documenting my restart in Shanghai, one slow day at a time. 📌 ABOUT THIS CHANNEL Hi, I'm Milly — 31, child-free, and choosing to restart my life in China.
