Let’s just say I was morphing into something in my career, then was made a ridiculous offer for more money doing something I wasn’t fully qualified to do with the promise that there would be plenty of time to ramp up and develop. I took it, the timeline constricted, I got laid off (might as well have been fired), and it derailed my career from the trajectory I was on. Then the entire tech sector went into downturn, everyone’s doing RTO, every job has 487261884 applicants, and I’m about ready to cash in my chips.

I don't understand the part with chips at the end. Why was the offer ridiculous ? do you mean the compensation was ridiculously higher than your usual ? I kinda did that recently, and am still hard at work to finish the thing in question,... so I can relate, I think.

Yeah, compensation was too high to turn down. I was happy where I was and going in the right direction.

I see. This is something to ruminate, thanks for sharing.
