I have been working as a backend software engineer for around 3 years and I've got poor performance ratings twice already. This has taken a toll on my mental health to point where I feel like I don't want to work for anyone anymore. I want to be on my own, start something on my own, have that freedom and also find out some way to earn for a living. I really have a passion for art but everyone just suggested me not to quit my software job to become an artist. I think my mental health is more important than earning money for now. What do you suggest?
