Why I left Google

Good afternoon everyone :)

On one of our lectures Niko mentioned article about lady who was very successful in Google but she decided to leave. Here is the link: https://medium.com/this-happened-to-me/c02f1ff471c6

She wrote "I was resisting because I would be giving up the safety and prestige associated with life as a Googler". From my point of view this is the biggest dilemma individual faces while making decision on leaving the job or staying.

I am interested to know what will you do?

  2. Wow, that's an interesting article. But I'll have to say, I don't really relate to the author. Of course I agree that if something makes you unhappy, you should stop it. Whether it is a job, relationship, place or whatever. So I understand her decision to leave. But personally, I don't think I would do it. Not only that Google is a great place to work and you get paid very well, I would be too scared to not find a job in time and then run out of money. Honestly, I couln't give up the "safety", as she describes it, of having a good job that pays good money. I would rather hang in a little longer and try to figure out what actually is the career I want. Plus I'm not the best baker or cook, so I would definitely not want to lose the free meals. :)
