it has been extremely challenging at times, especially the times where my voice fell upon deaf ears and the wrong direction was taken. ultimately every mistake, your own or otherwise, is a learning experience, and every success is just the same. for the most part though, I am involved quite a bit in the technical direction we are taking, so i dont feel as if ive been completely pushed out. I've now lived through several leadership shakeups and kind of glad that the stress of knowing the board could axe me at any time is mostly not on me. my historical knowledge of the system and domain alone is enough to guarantee job security and my compensation remains competitive given that chances like this are extremely rare, I've committed to riding it out to liquidity or the ship sinks, and learning as much as I can until then.
