Leaving Tech: Embracing a New Journey and Betting on Yourself

·Jun 02, 2025 01:08 PM·

hey friends! I finally wrote the big one. It’s about leaving tech, starting over, wrestling with fear, and why I’m betting on small businesses (and myself). it’s long, it’s personal, and I even recorded a voice version because ✨attention spans✨ give it a read or a listen if you’ve ever hit the reset button, or thought about it. https://www.linkedin.com/posts/e-clayton_starting-over-after-burnout-why-i-left-tech-[…]m=member_desktop&rcm=ACoAAAPmecoBXDTRFq_Icx9RS7JX5ikFMkXNhLs

Great story, well told, and worth the time to read. You have the "right stuff" to succeed in this new venture. Best wishes. 🎉

Miles, thank you so much for reading! I wasn’t sure if anyone would make it to the end, but didn’t think I could cut it and still feel like I told the whole thing.

I hear you. I've written a couple of semi-autobiographical articles on similar topics (burnout, career growth, job hunting), so your story resonated with me. One of the differences is that you have the strength to make this move. I was in a program last year to help people make that kind of move, but it's not for me at this time. For those of you reading this thread, read (or listen to) Erica's story. You may find it inspiring.
