Comment on Ask HN: Why did you quit your last job?parent

Honestly, I think you should have stayed and keep working hard. With fewer competition and obvious competency, it was more like an opportunity than an unfortunate situation...

Sometimes when the ship is sinking, you need to jump off

You should read Kazuo Inamori, he was not even being paid on time and still worked hard... really inspiring dude.

Sounds like an idiot to me. How can someone that dumb be inspiring?

I understand what you say, but in truth the rewards available for hard work in this arena would not really have suited me. I do not want the responsibility of a higher position, especially since I see that many well qualified and motivated people are unable to keep up with the pressure. I like my life simple, so I have moved on. Actually, I am well pleased at my new position and although it is the virtually the same job, embedded organisational differences mean that the pressures and frustrations will not be the same.
