Any folks who left the FAANG (or other large organizations) bubble. What do you think of that decision now? Good and bad.

definitely the right decision. bad: - making ~30% of what I did before - miss my friends, mentors there good: - autonomy, ownership, learning *so* much - feel like I’m working on meaningful things nothing can outweigh those latter two things, tbh

good: working on projects i'm passionate about with people i respect, feeling like i'm firing on all cylinders, improving on multiple dimensions concurrently bad: not making as much cash money as i otherwise could be (honest to god thats the only negative i can think of)

Great! It gives you the possibility to capture the best possible version of yourself. Don't get me wrong -- FAANG is great in many ways, learn a lot, make $$, etc, but hard to be the best version of you.

best thing I ever did. i felt like i was on the sidelines watching crypto where i wanted to be. much better to be on the field playing the game how you spend your days is how you spend your life! at the end i want to have tales on tales to share - FAANG was too safe

3 months in I miss the food and internal search, but I've kept in touch with the people I would miss, and am enjoying my work on the outside a lot more. I don't regret my time there but I also don't regret the decision to leave.

Very happy with my decision. Much more passionate about what I'm working on, more freedom, more responsibility, more happiness. Tweeted about it when I left and I feel the same way today: https://twitter.com/colinarms/status/1504982399624437763
