[quote=Anonymous]Not staying at a tech company because I was chasing a bigger title and salary/bonus. Turns out, the tech company's stock went 10x over the past 10 or so years. Had I stayed, I'd have $3M+ in the bank. Haven't done too bad at other companies during that time, but nowhere near as well financially and had to work a lot harder than I would have had I stayed. The tech company had great people working there, some of whom I stay in touch with today. These days, I'm at another company with a growing stock price and great people. I'm being recruited by other companies for comparable roles, but more money. At my age (early-50s), I'm kinda done with chasing titles and money (already a VP and the extra cash wouldn't make that much of a difference). Also, my tolerance level for a-holes is pretty low now that I'm not a newbie to the corporate world.[/quote]
