I just quit recently. After a few years in big tech the only thing I have to show for it is a fat bank account. I don’t remember the last time I’ve learned something new or had any kind of responsibility.

I’ll be joining a startup in a few months to hopefully find the joy in my profession again with a fresh start and more skin in the game.

I went the opposite way - I worked for smaller companies before going into a big corpo.

I will say that the experience taught me a lot about working on a team and also the importance of understanding my own (and my coworkers) limits when it comes to actually implementing stuff. Very worthwhile even if I left with a bad taste in my mouth.

I don't work for big tech, but you have at least one more thing to show for than I do!

I quit recently too, typical reason: boss was being such a boss. My new bosses are way better
