I was working at a large tech company with awesome coworkers and cool technology, but I wasn't applying my experience/time/skill towards something I cared about. But I likely would have stayed if it weren't for my SO getting an opportunity for a position in an awesome new city/country. I have been interested in education, healthcare, gamification, and video games for a while. When my SO's opportunity came up, I found that one of the companies I follow and that is focused on most of those interests of mine (gamification of education, educational video games) was located in the same city. I applied, went through the interview process completely remotely, and was eventually offered a job.
