Its kind of overwhelming. Theres been an outpouring of people telling me not to go, that Im the best person theyve worked with, asking me why, etc.

My team hosted a goodbye lunch for me and 20 people showed up. I was really moved by the amount of people that came by and wished me well. Ive never experienced that at any other company.

Despite my hangups recently, it was a good company to work for and a lot of great people. It makes me nervous about the next company because I hear its a lot more corporate and fast paced. It will be interesting to see how it goes. But I do worry about starting over after having built a great reputation here.

Its eye opening though that despite a super lean team and my teammates being completely overloaded, they arent even going to backfill me. They converted a contractor on the team and basically gave him all my work on top of his own. Kind of speaks to my fears of instability at the place.

Anyone ever leave a company they were happy with for a better opportunity? How did it go?
