Had no idea you could engineer your severance package. That's pretty smart. I had a similar experience at Google (with the only difference being haven taken a pay cut). Had a few cool months, eventually got disinterested in the work, tried to move laterally, failed upon learning of the year-long minimum to transfer internally, got a pre-PIP conversation, left for a better place. Got questioned by everyone for a while after that; almost the same questions, actually. I don't regret my decision at all.
