Life Update: Leaving Amazon
🕑 Added 2022-06-13 15:31:44 +0000 UTCLast week, I left Amazon, a company that I've worked at for five years. I don't have any big announcements (yet) about what is coming next. My life is very much in limbo right now and there is still a lot in flux. But I wanted to take a moment, pause, and reflect on the last five years.
In this audio, I talk with @joyonapping about some of the things motivating my decision to leave, some of the lessons I've learned from Amazon culture, and also what goodbye email etiquette is.
