QUIET REBELLION
Break Free From Your Golden Handcuffs
You're making "good money" at your tech job, with strings attached.
Handcuffs actually.
You’ve worked hard to get here… great salary, solid benefits, impressive title.
The benefits are great. The prestige is there.
So why do you feel so trapped?
THE TECH PARADOX
The career you've dedicated yourself to now feels like a cage.
Another bonus that doesn't fill the void
Another promotion that adds 20 more hours to your week
Another year passing while your real dreams collect dust
Another reorganization with 150 people now reporting to one director
Another round of layoffs making you wonder: am I next?
The industry that promised freedom is now controls all of your time, energy and attention.
RECLAIM WHAT MATTERS
The Quiet Rebellion isn't about quitting dramatically or burning bridges. It's about reclaiming your time, energy, and attention on your own terms, while crafting an exit strategy that preserves what truly matters.
Having spent over a decade in tech before creating my own path out, I understand exactly what you're facing. The anxiety. The golden handcuffs. The fear of walking away from "easy money" that doesn't feel so easy anymore.
YOUR PATH FORWARD
Whether you want to:
Stay in tech but transform your experience
Build runway for a meaningful sabbatical
Create a location-independent lifestyle
Launch your own business or consultancy
The Quiet Rebellion gives you the framework and personalized guidance to make it happen.

WHO AM I?
I'm Nicholas Whitaker, founder of Changing Work and guide for your Quiet Rebellion.
I know exactly how it feels. After more than a decade in tech, I faced the same crossroads you might be at now.
I found myself staring down the same questions you’re asking now.
I realized I could spend two years searching for another job that would eventually leave me feeling the same way... or I could spend that time building something aligned with my deepest values.
I chose the latter, and now I help others navigate their own path to freedom.
Whether that means reimagining their current role or creating something entirely new.
The techniques I teach blend ancient wisdom with practical modern strategies, drawing from my deep background in consciousness, positive psychology, communications and my real-world experience in tech leadership and entrepreneurship
