This Influencer Is Willing To Leave Fame For A 9-5 Job; Know Why

In recent years, content creation has become a lucrative career choice for many individuals. It offers an alternative to traditional corporate jobs. However, it is uncommon for someone to choose the opposite path. Ana Wolfermann, a New York-based influencer, enjoys the lavish perks that come with her profession but is willing to trade it all for a standard 9-to-5 job.

In an interview with Fortune magazine, the influencer explained why she wants to go from full-time content creation to a corporate position. Ana Wolfermann, stated that she began posting on TikTok during her freshman year of college. However, she has recently discovered that her life has become solely focused on what she will publish on social media.

Making content during the COVID-19 pandemic has had its effects on Ana. It’s led to her becoming more self-centred and anxious. Despite this, Ana is widely recognised for sharing her fashion and beauty looks, amassing over a million followers in the process.

She told the publication, “When I was in college, a lot of the people I looked up to and ultimately wanted to follow in their footsteps career-wise were full-time influencers. So I was extremely eager to graduate into full-time influence and continue to grow.” But she started doubting her intentions after about six months. She did not want her entire life to be about “how can I market my life?’”

She stated that it “can be very unsettling” when a person becomes the brand and the product. She claimed that her entire existence revolved on what she could share with her followers. “It just led me down a very narcissistic and anxious route,” she explained.

Ana Wolfermann’s family and friends were surprised when she declared her intention to leave full-time content creation. She stated, “Everybody thought I was possibly delusional and I just didn’t get it.” Furthermore, sharing why she wants to work in a corporate setting, Ana said she desires to have colleagues as well as work for someone else and learn new skills.

Moreover, she stated, part of the reason why so many individuals idolise social media and desire to work there full-time is because it pays well and provides many fantastic chances. Ana knows her new job would not pay as much as her content production gig but she’s still enthused about it.
