Darius Ogenyi's Linkedin Analytics

In 2020, I left a miserable HR job. No savings, no backup plan. Just fear. My dad was furious. Understandably, I had just walked away from what so many considered a golden opportunity. I felt like a failure. But deep down, I knew I had to make a change. Because staying meant being stuck in a life and career I had no passion for. I was also trapped in: 🛑 A relationship I thought would last forever 🛑 The house I had lived in for 25 years 🛑 And Sundays spent with my mom’s delicious rice and chicken stew It seemed too comfortable for my growth. So, I took the risk. Learned social media management and quit my job. With no formal training, I hustled day and night, looking for internship opportunities. After months of rejection, a marketing and brand manager for an Edtech company took a chance on me. It wasn’t easy. But that first step opened doors I never imagined. Since then, I’ve worked with some of the biggest tech brands across Africa and beyond. Today, I manage social media for a New York-based startup, earning 100x more than I did back then. In my current role, I’ve: 1. Helped monetize our YouTube channel 2. Created the company’s top three viral posts 3. Increased brand presence on LinkedIn and Twitter. Even though my dad still thinks I made a mistake, I started a free newsletter to share everything I have learned over the past four years as a social media manager.
