  Yup! I'd told them last year as the divorce was starting that I'd need to be promoted within 18 months, or I'd start to become bitter and perform less well... and I'd leave before that happened. Just put in for a GDC talk, hopefully that gets approved. Otherwise I'll stick around to give a talk at the Game Analytics Summit (big networking event for my niche of a field), and spin up some conversations. Also have contacts in most major studios... or I may just strike out and start doing consulting work. It was always a dream of mine to get back into global consulting work once the kids were grown up. They have been, but the ex was wanting to stick around for the grandkids. Me, I'll be a free woman to make her mark on the world (once I can extract myself from the leech).
