So back when my career was absolute shit, there was this small tech group within the company. I had been on a few projects for them and they really kept trying to get me to join. I strongly considered it but I noticed a trend of the folks on the team being overworked and underappreciated… And I would have to relocate. I debated for a week and finally decided that my sister was about to have kids and I wanted to be involved. Fast forward like a month or two after I turned them down… Our company canned the entire group. I now have a really good position and am quite happy.

The grass isn’t always greener and all that…
