Ask HN: Where did you go after big tech?
3 by civicsquid | 2 comments on Hacker News.
I work at Meta, and I have for 3 years now. I made it from new grad to a terminal level. For better or worse, I stayed on the same team the whole time. I am not interested in building a career on a single team at a single company. I know I could get to the next level if I stay on my current team, but I am tired and need variety. I think it is time to move around, if not within FB then elsewhere. I am not sure how to make a move that will allow me to continue to advance my career. I think I want to spend time at a company that is trying to grow and scale, but I’m concerned that will look or feel like a step down due to smaller scale or less recognizability of the company. If you were in a similar situation / left big tech, where did you go? How did you decide whether or not it was the right career move?
