Tech Professional Leaves Rs 3.3 Crore Google Job to Launch Own Startup
Kevin Naughton Jr, a New York-based tech professional earning nearly Rs 3.3 crore annually at Google, left the company to start his own business. He said he knew from his first day at Google that he wanted to work for himself. The death of his father in 2022 was a significant turning point that prompted him to prioritize personal fulfillment over financial security. Naughton Jr had saved enough to support himself for several years, allowing him to take the risk of leaving a stable job to pursue his startup.
