I Quit my Job as a Software Engineer at Amazon

I quit my six-figure software engineering job at Amazon after just over a year. It had been my dream job, so leaving was a harder decision than I expected.

In this video, I share what changed: feeling disconnected from the impact of my work, the operational burden, the constant turnover on my team, and the layoffs that made me rethink why I was staying. I also talk about searching for a new job while still working and what helped me realize there were other opportunities out there.

I’m grateful for the people I met and everything I learned at Amazon ❤️ I’m excited to share what comes next.
