7 brutal truths I wish I knew before I quit my 13-year tech career:

1. ​Loyalty is a one-way street, they will replace you in 48 hours

2. ​"Safe" salary is the most addictive drug on the market

3. ​Growth will require you to ghost people you once called friends

4. ​Waiting to feel "ready" is a trap

5. ​A perfect plan is just a beautiful form of procrastination

6. ​The biggest risk isn't leaving, staying and letting your soul atrophy is

7. ​No one is coming to save you

​It's your move.
