@nntaleb separates the risk of loss from the risk of ruin. Most employees price leaving as ruin - losing everything - when, properly prepared, it's a loss, i.e. reversible.
And most of the successful quitters had already secured their departure: savings, a client, a partner covering rent…
They just conveniently leave that part out.
@markproduct wanting to see your own projects through, creating something from scratch and seeing it come to life (something that gets lost when working corporate) - and also just couldn't stand having to "circle back"
@markproduct Very true - LinkedIn sits at the intersection of a social media platform (which it is) and a job search platform, and is the only one to have done so. Actually have started seeing more job postings on Substack
