So in one of my previous videos, I talked about why I left my full time job at Google to focus on my YouTube channel instead, this huge of Jonah right here on a lot of people commented on that video saying, Why did you have to leave Gugelmin?

Why couldn't you have done both of them at the same time?

My answer to that would be actually, I could have done both of them at the same time.

But I decided not to.

For a few reasons which I'm going to explain this video also, a lot of people said to me, You know, you didn't really leave Google because YouTube is part of Google.

I'm gonna talk about that issue later in this video to on in case you're wondering why I have this huge microphone.

I'll talk about it in this video to So here are the four reasons why I left Google to be a youtuber full time and not part time number four.

As I mentioned in my wire left Google Video, I decided to leave Google when I saw this market gap.

Basically, people were looking for high quality videos about software engineer interviews and maybe programming in general, and they couldn't find them anywhere else.

And that's why my channel started growing really fast.

So when I say I saw this market gap, it was pretty obvious to me based on the way my channel was growing.

And chances are if it was obvious to me, it was obvious to other people, too.

And it's not like this market gap, what's going to exist forever.

You know, anyone else could have taken it.

Like I said in my last video, I do like helping people, But I'm also a very competitive guy.

So I wanted to make sure I was the one who was going to get to this gap.

Get to this market first before anyone else.

And I thought I wanted to move as fast as possible for that.

Number three already started making some side income while I was working at Google, so I was making a little bit of money on YouTube on.

I was also making some money on this platform called linda dot com, where I put out an online video course about software engineer interviews.

So I just thought maybe I could just start working on this full time.

Keep growing my YouTube channel on.

Maybe put out another online video course out there and then try to promote it through my YouTube channel.

And that's exactly what I did on I'm doing Okay now, even though I'm making a lot less money than I was at Google Oh, by the way, this microphone, I got an idea to get a microphone like this from one of the top instructors on lena dot com.

He was using a microphone like this on.

I thought I wanted to get one of those and so I got one to make, you know, my online video courses on.

I just kept using it for my YouTube videos to anyway.

Reason number two.

I'm not that good at making videos.

You know, for one thing.

And not even a native English speaker.

I'm originally from Japan.

I grew up there on I started speaking English when I was 18 or so.

So whenever I try to make a video like I'm doing right now, it takes me a lot of work and a lot of takes like it takes me five or six takes or even more to make you know this test second clip.

So I felt like I needed to put in a lot of work on a lot of time compared to other YouTubers just to catch up with them and reason number one.

It was just so much fun working on these videos, you know, Like I said in my last video, I wouldn't call it my passion.

Making videos wasn't my passion, at least at the beginning, but I still liked it a lot.

I liked how I was learning a lot like about my speech and about gestures and stuff on.

I liked how I could be creative when I must making videos, so I wanted to spend more time on it.

You know, after I graduated from the university before I started working a Google, I had so much time a hand.

I do have, you know, that much money.

But I had time to travel a little bit on work on different kinds of projects like this one on.

It was just so much fun on.

I just wanted to get back to that feeling again.

Oh, before I forget.

Like I said earlier, a lot of people said to me.

You two have really leave Google because YouTube is part of Google.

First of all, you know a good point.

It is kind of ironic, but I did a leaf Google because I don't work for Google anymore.

I don't work for YouTube anymore.

It's just that my content happens to be on YouTube.

And it's not all off my content because some of my content is on Facebook and some of it is on lena dot com and you to me.

So I'm not totally reliant on YouTube or Google anymore.

And so, if YouTube fails at some point in the future, you know, in 10 years or something, I would just go to whatever the next platform is, whether it's Facebook, instagram or anything else.

As long as I'm addressing people its knees.

As long as I'm feeling this gap in the market, I should be able to, you know, keep making full time income indefinitely.

And if I fail to do so at some point in feature, I'll just get a job somewhere.

If Google is willing to take me back, I'll be very happy.

But there are a lot of other good companies out there too.

Okay, in case you're curious about my why left Google Video open a link right here?

If he could support me by subscribing to this channel, like in this video on checking out my patron, Paige, I'd be super grateful.
