For šŸ  that have been apart of the Great Resignation, how long were you at your new job before you felt good about the switch? Did you go through a period of second guessing your decision to leave?

Donā€™t worry, everyone always second guesses, and usually it goes away after a few months. This is a standard human condition, not just for work

3 years. Should have left sooner

What role did you move into and where?

1.5 years. Left because audit sucks. I found a better gig doing consulting elsewhereā€¦.

I think the key is not to leave just to leave. Think about the long term career and what you want to achieve 5-10 years down the future. And try to align those career goals with your a drawn out path

smart

Ah I left audit after 1.5 years and Iā€™m currently two months in the new consulting gig.

I really evaluated the position before proceeding with it. While Iā€™m only two months in Iā€™m glad I took it. Parts of me sometimes thinks I regret just because ā€œthe grass is always greenerā€ but that always quickly passes by.

It would probably take me a full year to really evaluate whether I like this or not before deciding to do something else again

1 year. Made the decision 2 months in. Never second guessed my self just wanted to wait a year but honestly should have stated applying sooner.

Whatā€™s up with this trend of hiring managers rejecting developers who donā€™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.
