Saying goodbye to Google 👋🏻 (with surprise guest @Tiff in Tech 😅)! Join me for my last day at the Toronto office 🇨🇦 in my new YouTube video (link in bio). In a few months, it'll be a year since I quit, but I FINALLY edited the vlog of my last day 😅✌️ I'll share with you one of the BIGGEST mistakes I made before leaving 🫢😔. Taking risks can lead to incredible growth, even if it means losing corporate access and spending the night at the London office 😳 Embrace the discomfort of leaving a "stable" tech job for the unknown 🫣. Life is all about unpredictable moments, right? 😅 Remember, it's okay to be scared of new things; it means you're growing! What's the most recent risk you've taken, and how do you decide whether it's worth it? 🤔 #developerdiaries #womenintech #thedevlife #lifeatgoogle
