We’ve all read the software engineer turned PM story. And although very commendable, and kudos to them for doing what needs to be done, I’d love to hear people who’ve gone down the not so traditional career path or have had weird career trajectories. Are you happy about the decisions you’ve made? Are you content? Is there something you would do differently?

A popular thread here on grapevine had some amazing stories on salary hikes. This thread is for the stories of people who let go of higher pay because of some reason.

Would you say you did the right thing?

Try to avoid asking questions which can doxx me on LinkedIn (that's where I post a little) See if you can focus on asking questions around principles & not masala stories Problem with masala stories is that you'll learn the wrong things from my narratives This will be fun I think
