I am looking to leave soon to increase how challenging my work is and gain new skills. Honestly intended to leave my current role 8 months ago, but my leadership suffered a huge wave of departures and I didn't want to leave my employer out to dry with no Director level leadership. Since then I had the opportunity to hire 11 new team members in the "new-normal" era of remote hiring, which I feel has increased my skills even further.

Also our new company culture (we were acquired) is one of using a lot of contractor resources to quickly build something, and throw it over the wall to our permanent staff, its just not healthy for the team long term.

I favor iterative approaches that are tightly coupled to customer feedback. Compared to our current rapid build outs with long feedback cycles.

I have the same issue with my current company. My best work has been done without a bunch of layers of management, just give me a user with a problem that needs solving and let us work together on it.


I appreciate your loyalty - that’s pretty rare these days. Reach out if you want to explore a new opportunity (public company, good mission statement, good work life balance, good comp)
