I moved from an extremely fast-paced environment to a well balanced, well managed software shop. I regret that choice a lot. While I do have now work/life balance, sleep longer nights and never do any overtime, I can't help but feel I'm not even close to the productive levels I had before. I loved being pushed to my limit, constantly having to come up with new solutions to new problems, etc.
On the plus side, I now have the time to launch my company which will - I hope - give me once again the kind of environment in which I can push my own limits.
- cema 16y agoWell I guess in a fast paced environment you are pushed and in a balanced environment you pace yourself. We are adults not cogs.
- yannickmahe 16y agoLess challenge means less of a reason to push yourself in my opinion. I rather relished the possibility to jump on problems other people left alone. Perhaps it's more an issue of challenge than pace, pace being a side effect of the challenge you encounter.
- cema 16y agoOr perhaps of a challenge your boss encountered. May be a wrong kind of challenge, depending on the boss.
