Daniel Min, 22, left his job worth Rs 2.7 crore at an AI startup. Due to the 12-hour daily workload and its impact on his personal life, he resigned after just 8 months.
A 22 year old boy rejected the ‘dream job’ worth Rs 2.7 crore. Daniel Min, Chief Marketing Officer at America’s AI startup ‘Cluly’, left his job with a salary worth crores. His annual salary was more than 3 lakh dollars, i.e. about Rs 2.7 crore. He cited the heavy workload of working 12 hours a day as the reason for leaving the job. Daniel Min says that because of this job without breaks, he was missing important moments of life like having dinner with friends or surprising his brother on his birthday. Min worked in Cluley’s marketing department for only eight months. In a recent video shared on Instagram, Min revealed about the stress of his work.
Daniel Min, also a content creator, joined Cluly in May 2025 as CMO. After completing his graduation in Marketing and Operations Management from Wharton School, he was just 21 years old at that time. But Min says that within four months of starting the job, the workload started tiring him. Min said that initially he liked his work very much, but after a few months he started feeling bored in the work.
Eventually, Cluly CEO Roy Lee notices Min’s troubles and talks to him. Min then told the CEO about his uneasiness. The CEO fully supported Min and encouraged him to do things that made him happy. Thus Min quit his job. Anyway, this video has gone viral on social media.
