During your professional experience, have you ever had that company where not only you loved working with the product, but also with the people. You knew the system and codebase in and out but you had to move because of pay and other reason? Do you miss it?

Yes. and I do miss it.

Well I guess I started to not like the people at the product towards the end as well

What prompted this question?

@iceb My former boss (who I've kept close relationship for the past 2 years, since I've left the company) asked me to help him for a weekend to upgrade their internal system because the current devs couldn't do it.

Agreed to help and had a memory lane working with the system this past weekend. I went to the office, sat in my old seat and started to code for 3 days straight. By the end of the day, I did not feel exhausted at all unlike my current job.

I'm there rn and deliberating if I want to leave

Yes, but in hindsight I didn't regret trying new things.

I've worked for many years at the same place because I loved the people and the product. But recently switched.

I'm currently feeling a tad uncomfortable in my new project.

But I've been here before. Felt the same thing when I was new at my old place 😊 that I later grew to love.

I can always go back.

I had the opposite, shit pay shot company, shit tradition and cuture, and moved for shittier (0) pay.

At some point you have to make choice, either you do what you love for a living, or work.
