Summary
Leaving a S$10,000-a-month tech job was not just a career change. For Alvin Tan, it was a financial decision shaped by the rise of artificial intelligence.
Rather than waiting to see whether his job would be affected, Alvin left the technology sector and began building a hawker business from scratch. Starting with free tastings and food events before opening his own stall, he gradually tested demand while learning how pricing, food costs and operating expenses determine whether a business actually makes money.
This video shares the financial realities behind the business, from revenue and profit margins to hiring decisions, CPF planning and rising ingredient costs. It also examines the trade-offs of leaving salaried employment for self-employment, where income, financial risk and long-term planning all change.
