Episode 49 : Suraj’s Best Decision Leaving High Paying Job
There are very few people who would view walking out of a high paying job at one of London’s top law firms as a good decision. But that is just what Suraj Sodha did and it turned out to be the best decision of his life.
After 4 years of studying law at university, Suraj ended up in London as a trainee lawyer, which is the natural course of progression to becoming a fully qualified lawyer. Living in London on trainee lawyer wages is not an easy thing to do however, and so Suraj decided to create a second income for himself.
This is why he started his first real internet business. What was originally intended only as a part time venture to see Suraj through until he became promoted to a fully-fledged lawyer, quickly became a full time money maker. He then had to make the decision between continuing on his law career path or jumping ship and embracing this fast growing internet business that he had created.
Of course the law lost out, even though admittedly that was a very worrying decision for Suraj to take. He has not looked back since however, and today he is the proud owner of a global internet market training and consultancy firm as well as several other successful businesses.
