Their other posts in the index, biggest breakout first.
I just lost my 350k tech job and I'm actually really really excited about it. I didn't expect to get laid off because I had just gotten promoted and I knew layoffs were coming for the company and I was joking saying I hope I get laid off because when you get laid off at these tech companies they give you service so they'll pay you for three or four months even though you're not working. So I was hoping I would head paid off. Didn't think it would actually happen to me but it did. Honestly my position was a dream position. It was a remote my teammates were great work life balance was pretty good but I still wanted to leave because I just wasn't super passionate about what I was doing and I wanted to start my own thing. And I think this is a case for a lot of people where they want to leave their nine to five job because they don't feel like it's fulfilling them, but they just get golden and they're all behind to try to risk it and start something that might not even work. So anyways after getting laid off, I interviewed for a couple roles. I actually got a couple offers to work other places, but I decided I'm not going to do it and just go full in on this and see if it works out or not. And I'm going to give myself six months of runway because that's about all of the cash that I have and we'll see if it works out or not. So if you're in a similar position and you might want to leave your job, but you're not sure if you should, or if it's going to work out or not, maybe you can follow my journey and see what happens and make a better decision for yourself.
