Too Long; Didn't Read
My manager remarked when I told him I was leaving for another team. I really liked my manager, I was proud of working in the team but among other reasons, continuing to work in technical-debt fixing for more than a year while most members of my team were busy launching a promising v1 project, was affecting my happiness. I voiced my concerns but having done it for so long, I knew the area better than others. After a year of seeing opportunities pass by, I decided to make the move thus leading my team to lose a productive employee and myself leaving a team which I felt proud by association.
