Background
So recently with all the unhappiness going around in Shopee, I decided it might finally be the time to move. I landed a few good offers after a month of talking to other companies, and just the other day I received all of my offer letters. But then it hit me. I’m going to have to leave Shopee.
My Home
Shopee has been my home for the past 4 years. And I owe it and its people a lot. From the 3 amazing devs who interviewed me and gave me the chance to join them, to every single dev I worked with and learned from.
I still believe in the potential Shopee has to one day become one of the biggest e-commerce in the world. And I’m sad I won’t be working for it when it happens. But I will still take pride in being part of this amazing force. Especially since the order code base is my baby, and deep down I wish I could keep a copy of it somewhere for myself.
Next Step
After I eventually clear out the tears, I need to figure out which offer I’m more inclined to take. Shopee gave me what I always craved, being part of something that I can be proud of. And now that I have tasted it, I want it again. I want to make an impact, I want to build something that touches people’s lives again. And that’s enough motivation to move forward.
