Ask HN: What is your reason leaving the previous company?
- sharemywin 4y agoI was the only developer.
- icedchai 4y agoToo much process, too many meetings, too little real work.
- breadloaf 4y agoAren't you from automotive? Because I was leaving from there from exactly same reasons + another PITA were endless and pointless training sessions - Lean, 5S, managing, manufacturing, ... and all of that despite the fact that we were only software branch which never had any access to production.
- icedchai 4y agoNah, I just had a bad experience at a "mid-sized" company that still called itself a startup 10+ years after founding.
- h2odragon 4y agoHealth destroyed by stress. I can be proud of some things we did; but looking back on it i should've chosen "Life" over "work" a lot more often.
- s1k3s 4y agoBeing promoted to middle management.
- slipwalker 4y agomy (new) direct boss
- RegnisGnaw 4y agoMy old manager was tech who eventually moved into management. She's very good at organizing things and working with the tech team. Her replacement came from a professional project management background and was a huge micro-manager.
- gquiniou 4y agoGot invited to work directly for my client with a better salary, more vacation and more opportunities in general.
- DarrenDev 4y agoBoredom. It's always boredom. Every time.
- speedgoose 4y agoThe company decided to focus on one market and hired many people. Due to that I stopped doing interesting research and development but more boring and easy source code pissing, with very little freedom and responsibilities.
- labarilem 4y agoStarting my own company.
- dyingkneepad 4y agoGot an offer that doubled my salary.
- gaws 4y agoFrom what to what?
- dyingkneepad 4y agoFrom "Newbie at small company" to "Engineer with a hard-to-find skill at BigCorp".
- gaws 4y agoI'm talking about salary: How much did you make in Company A then Company B?
- lexcom 4y agoThe two biggest reasons were severe burnout and private equity acquisition. I could see the company "tightening the belt", so I knew I had to leave before the cuts come. I kind of want to strike out on my own, and I'm not sure how to do that, but I guess I'll figure it out.
