I've hinted at this before, but I've decided: I'm getting out of tech. I've been in tech, and in security, for a long time, but it's no longer what it used to be. So I'm running off into the woods, almost literally, as so many in tech want to do.

I wrote up my perceptions of what has changed in the industry, and how rough the job market is right now. Also wrote up what I plan on doing next. If anyone's interested, have a read.

So long, and thanks for all the malware – White Hat Mac

@thomasareed having just been “acqui-hired” myself a few months before the Malwarebytes deal, I remember being very happy for you. My wake up call with PE/VC happened a lot quicker but sounds like in the end we both came to the same conclusion: a business that cares about growth - more than the product - sucks. And you’re right; it’s getting worse not better.
Best of luck to you getting back to something you love in your new venture.
