[FULL] Prateep: “Colleagues Are Harder To Deal With”, He Quit His Job As A Flight Attendant For Singapore Airlines!

For many, working in the airline industry is a dream job, specifically as part of the flight crew for obvious reasons. For Prateep, however, the perks and benefits are nice-to-haves, but not the reason he would stay for. While the company is not the main reason, he saw it that he would not be in the same industry for the years to come, especially when he is entering the prime age of starting a family. Eventually, he made the decision to quit.  He did it with no backup plan of what to do next. This topic is controversial because many would advise against quitting without another job offer in their hands. More so than ever, Prateep is preparing to start a family. I wanted to get an inside look at what it means to quit a job. If you are looking to do so, I think this conversation is for you. If you are in the airline industry and you resonate with his experience, I think this conversation is for you too.
