I'm curious why you left, if you want to share!
- ChrisMarshallNY 5y agoI can’t go into details why, or the story behind the decision (or what I thought of it), but the company folded up all of their “offshore” development (we were one of their “foreign” offices). It was no surprise to me. I was saddened, but not surprised.
- jrochkind1 5y agoThat sounds rough, I'm glad you ended up in a situation that you like! (I'm ready to "retire" whenever personally, and then work on the code I want with the people I want to without financial expectation!)
- ChrisMarshallNY 5y agoYes and no. I'd had my bags packed for years. I was sticking around, to make sure that my team was treated as well as possible, on the way out.
