Hello, Independency

1 min read

After working in Big Tech for 12 years (less than 2 years @Amazon and over 10 years @Google), I’ve decided to start my indie journey.

I wrote this blog at 2:20PM on my last day at Google and in a few hours I will hand over my badge and can no longer call myself a Googler. This is a huge change for me, and has been something I dreamt about doing for many years. However, at this particular moment, I felt strangely calm, feeling kind of like I’m going on a 2 weeks vacation instead of leaving a steady well paying job that I’ve been doing for almost a third of my life. Perhaps, the effects of this change will slowly kick in over the next week or so as I switch gear to work on something completely new.

I plan to use this blog to document things I learn along the way, so that one day I can look back and have some proof that this all happened. So stay tuned for more updates (you can follow the blog using this RSS Feed!
