I Quit Google
- kaycebasques 5y agoSuket and I met here on HN after I posted my own blog [1] about leaving Google for a 1-year sabbatical. It's been fascinating for us to compare/contrast motivations. There's not much to contrast though, our top-level motivation [2] and day-by-day strategies [3] are remarkably similar. [1] https://kayce.basqu.es/sabbatical/prologue https://kayce.basqu.es/sabbatical/prologue [2] Suket: "I’m playing the long game. I have conviction that if I focus on building a solid foundation, I can climb to greater heights and enjoy the journey along the way." [3] Suket: "Foundations are a collection of healthy habits that yield compounding returns. A strong one acts as a force multiplier. A weak one creates drag."
