Not enough context provided to give a helpful answer.

That said teaching as a skill is something not all good at and not the most knowledgeable and well experienced corporate professionals are good at. So no dearth in rewarding paths that you can carv out.

Money/pride aside what are the personal reasons that drove you to teacing?

Worked as a PM . Have MBA from a top school. PM role made me frustrated having to learn tech every time I searched for roles that would suit my strength like strategy, founder's office applied to 2000 companies . Couldn't get a decent role
To give you a statement applied to Meesho 25 times, they didn't give me an interview

So I got a little dejected not getting the opportunities to do something of my potential solve a good problem

Anyway thanks to God, was good with public speaking and communication. Came to a job with a lesser pay , more stable job but don't know how to be long term in this

Then though of tea

Interestingly you said money / pride aside what drove you to teaching ... This seems you view teaching positively

If you have already made the switch, then there is no point in asking and creating self doubts. Unless you already think this is a wrong decision, and looking for a quick validation for making a turnaround and getting back to corporate.

Might as well ride through it, instead of having a regret that I should have given teaching a try

If you have a side income or a good bank balance and your own house. It's a great decision.

Sounds amazing. I am planning to move to doing a PhD and teaching management in the next 10 years

Just a random thought

Working into edtech sales from the past year, salary and incentives are good but 0 work life balance, should I take a risk and switch to the IT domain as I'm an engineer by education. Just give me some insights my friends
