I am on my last week at Microsoft right now. Although after a paltry 2.5 years, not 10, my reasons for leaving are pretty similar.

- potatolicious 17y agoI'm about 6 months into my Seattle stint (not at Microsoft), and I'm already loathing this city. It's sleepy, but not in the charming beach-side small town kind of way, in the lazy "I'm too arsed to go out, ever" way. There's no energy anywhere around here, which is a far cry from any other city I've had the pleasure of living in. Was the environment - Seattle/Kirkland/Redmond/Bellevue a major factor in choosing to leave?
- city41 17y agoHonestly, yes it was :-/ In fact, I met a lot of people here who came from the midwest and all of them either hate it or have already left (I'm from the midwest too). Seattle is a gorgeous city, when I first came here it blew me away how beautiful it is. But there's just something about this area that really didn't jive with me. I agree "sleepy but not in a good way" is one good way to describe this area.
