I’m a 26-year-old who quit my 6-figure job at Deloitte to be a TikToker and coach. People thought I was crazy, but I’m on track to match my old salary – here’s how I did it.

• Victoria D’Ambrozio quit her consulting job to become a business coach.
• Since leaving her job in January, she’s poised to make six figures in her first year.
• This is her story, as told to freelance writer Perri Ormont Blumberg.

I’m a business and mindset coach and TikTok influencer who recently left a six-figure consulting job at Deloitte to go out on my own.

In year one, I’m estimating I’ll make what I was making at my corporate job (although I’m hoping to hit higher), and next year, I’m looking to double that by taking on more clients and introducing new services.

When I first started posting content online in September 2020, I had a plan that I would quit my corporate job in a year.

At the time, I was starting from zero (I had no online presence), so I assumed it would take me (at least) a year to build a community online and establish myself as an industry leader.
