I quit Google after five years and moved to NYC right before the pandemic started. Working on my startup now. Pays infinitely less but makes me a lot happier.

I quit Google after five years and moved to NYC right before the pandemic started. Working on my startup now. Pays infinitely less but makes me a lot happier. I love getting put in situations I would've never dreamed I would be in. My biggest lesson so far was that I should've left Google earlier. I didn't need nearly as much saved as I had expected. The only thing I could wish for is more friends who did the same. I do miss having coworkers.

Did you stay the five years to see the initial grant / refreshers vest?

  No otherwise I would've left after four. The hardest part to leave was my team. I did really like the people I worked with.

  Alphabet stock is so high chances are he was still wearing golden handcuffs when he left due to stacked refreshers at a significantly lower price.
