Yeah I am taking some time off to explore as well. I have been working in data analytics for the past 3.5 years and feeling bored and burnt out. Want to pivot away to a career where I feel more in control of my days

I’m getting so close to doing this too. When they ask why I’m leaving I want to say I don’t want to miss out on the Great Resignation - just want to be a part of history 🤣🙋‍♀️

I keep reading about people doing this, and it is hard for me to understand. Are the people that are doing this single and live with their parents? As someone who is married, with children, and a home, I can’t understand resigning with nothing lined up. How will you pay for things?

like

I know for myself I’m single with no kids. I would’ve never even thought about resigning if I was married with kids unless I had something else lined up. It wouldn’t even be a choice for me. My company has a really high attrition rate and most if not all of the people that I know that have resigned don’t have kids.

Am miserable. And I cant do something I don’t care about for the next 40 years. Especially now that I realize the difference between 60k (what I started at) and 100k (what I make now) is close to none in the grand scheme of things

Congrats and good luck OP! Sounds liberating!

I terminated a former employee for consistently missing deadlines, v. poor quality of work (basic spelling mistakes), costed me $500k in errors and subsequently called him a “bottom-tier performer” to my girlfriend. Girlfriend thinks I’m being mean and not kind by calling people that because she thinks I’m putting them down. Note: never called any other team members that because they do good work. I don’t think I’ve said anything out of line - am I in the wrong here?

Hi all, I have the long-term goal of ultimately getting into a good Venture Capital firm at Associate level. I currently work at Amazon , did my undergrad and Masters in Economics at LSE. I have 2 main questions:
1) Is it even possible/feasible to pivot from Amazon to VC given my background?
2) I have the option to internally transfer in Amazon to a product/program manager role or AWS in a start-up Manager role - which of these would be best to maximise my chances of eventually getting into VC?

What’s up with this trend of hiring managers rejecting developers who don’t have FAANG experience on their resume? People in consulting companies also work for clients who handle high traffic and complex architectures. Also, not everyone wants to work at FAANG companies due to moral issues that these big tech companies ignore and blatantly misuse personal data and privacy.
