• description: I spent nearly four years at what most would call the perfect job. I was the Head of Developer Relations at Charm, working with an incredible team, building a community from the ground up, and earning a $200k+ salary. But in 2025, everything changed. In this video, I’m sharing the honest truth about why I walked away from a "dream job" to reinvest in myself and my long-term vision for my tech career. We’ll talk about fighting burnout, the frustration of being "bottlenecked," and why I’m choosing the discomfort of solo development over a stable paycheck. What we’re covering: - The Environment at Charm: Why the team and culture were actually amazing. - The Turning Point: How misalignment and project bottlenecks led to 2025 burnout. - Financial Transparency: How I prepared for the risk of going solo. - The Future: My plan for weekly long-form videos, live coding, and green field projects. - Open Source Support: How I want to use this platform to highlight talented developers. I’m so grateful for the journey at Charm and the incredible tools we built together.
