- staying long term at one company can come down to people, meaningful work, and real work-life balance
- keep an internal checklist to separate industry-wide problems from company-specific problems before deciding to leave
- have frank honest conversations with your manager about being unhappy before you decide to quit
- treat documentation as a core skill, writing things down helps new hires and global remote teams ramp up faster
- keep building on github and showing real work, not just talking about skills, since hiring managers actually look at it
