I have done it! In three weeks, I will be unemployed! I feel so relieved. The weight of the decision and the delay is gone. When I told the team – they were all excited for me to move to something new & different.
A senior dev from another team will be moving to take over the project. He will be perfect – he has knowledge that will be extremely useful. All that is left is to transition the knowledge. That sounds so easy but it isn’t. Will I remember everything needed, will I write down what they need to succeed.
At least that concern has a time limit. In three weeks, I will be out and they will have to swim. I know they will – maybe a little slower because my in-depth knowledge will be gone. I hope they all thrive.
I don’t know what that next thing will be for me. I figure I will take a long vacation and do some learning and then see what happens! I am a bit scared.
