I love this post, I really do and it's because it resonates so deeply with me. Ellen is really able to put into words what I could only babble on about in nonsensical conversations with people over the past 6 months. I left Google this year too as have many others (if only you could see the internal epitaph). There were many reasons why I left but none are noteworthy. Many have found themselves in similar situations, facing adversity in their lives, achieving the dream and then wondering what next, the quarter life crisis. Google is the dream but what happens when the dream becomes a reality? Does the reality live up to what you had imagined it to be? Now what? Do you spend 10 years at Google trying to level up? Do you work on complex problems at Google scale? Do you even get that opportunity?
