Influencer With 1 Million Followers Wants To Move To Corporate Job. Here's Why

A TikTok influencer with nearly one million followers on Instagram and TikTok combined has decided to leave the social media platform for a corporate job.

Ana Wolfermann, 23, who started her TikTok account during the pandemic, shared that she found her career as an influencer more taxing than profitable. Although many people see social media as an easy way to make money, few realise the mental health issues and anxiety that the profession can bring.

In an interview with Fortune, Wolfermann explained that she was no longer satisfied with her career. She said that although she was eager to graduate and become a full-time influencer, she began to feel that her life was becoming too superficial and focused solely on marketing.

''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 influencing and continuing to grow,'' she shared.

''But within six months, I started to have very real thoughts of ‘I don't think that I want to do this full time. I don't think that I want my entire life to be about ‘how can I market my life?'' she added.

She also said that the constant thought of what to say or post each day and the anxiety that came with it was just too much. Wolfermann is still excited to post on social media but not as a full-time job.

She is now looking for a corporate job that will challenge her and allow her to learn new skills. She believes that her time management, networking skills, and ability to get things done all on her own will make her successful in her new job.
