Not really "quitting tech" as in working on some different industry, but more like story about how the guy stopped working as an employee/in a traditional job.

Not really "quitting tech" as in working on some different industry, but more like story about how the guy stopped working as an employee/in a traditional job. He cashed his stock options from Yelp and lives on that, but still is working on many projects that I would call tech (games etc).
- debt 10y ago"quitting tech" usually means severing ties with the valley. working in tech anywhere else in the world is nowhere near what it's like working in tech in the valley.
- repomies691 10y agoI have visited valley, have friends working there and work from other country, and I disagree. Working life is not that different. I think in valley you also have variety of companies of all kinds.
- diggan 10y agoNever having worked "in tech" (as in the valley) but in tech outside, I feel like it's not very interesting reading about someone who working in the valley not working in the valley anymore. It would be many times more interesting reading about someone actually quitting tech as in moving away from the technology sector (not the silicon valley one, the anywhere else one)
- madgar 10y agoIt's true, no other tech hub can hold a candle to the traffic in Silicon Valley - let alone the cost of housing!
