> You’re either hoping and waiting to stumble upon your goals when you should be focused on building them, or (arguably worse), you know what you want but are unable or unwilling to pursue them.

You can do it Kevin!!

I have the same goal for the same reasons. I would be really interested to hear some of your thoughts on how to get there.

Looking forward to hearing more of your journey. I jumped from 10 years of QA into Android development three years ago and it was scary at first. I’m slowly trying to build my own apps while working for others as well which feels similar in some sense. I’m interested to see where self employment goes for you and wish you the best!

Did google ending remote work policy was one of the motivators for resigning from the job?

Thankfully for me it didn't, I was granted full remote a while back and only decided to change that by moving to the Cambridge office because my gf got a job there
