Don’t get stuck
My decision to leave was final though. It wasn’t a financial one, in fact I was just about to get a significant raise and more responsibilities. It also wasn’t a relational one, I really appreciated all of my colleagues back then; I’d even call some of them good friends.
I decided to leave because I got stuck, there wasn’t any room to grow anymore. The perspective of being a developer who’s 5 years behind of modern day practices made me miserable.
