“Leaving Tekion Corp? Are you serious?” they asked. 🤔
Leaving Tekion was a gift wrapped in fear. It’s daunting to walk away from something secure, where you’ve built a reputation and a team that feels like family.
🚀 But the pull of a strong mission, the idea of creating something new, from scratch, that’s what made me take the leap. It was terrifying, yet the excitement of what lay ahead was impossible to ignore.
I still remember my first day at Tekion in July of 2016. We were just a handful of engineers, crammed into a small office, driven by nothing but ambition and the desire to innovate. The pace was intense, something we proudly called “Tachyon Speed,” pushing us to move faster than light. Every moment was a learning curve, from diving into the tech to figuring out managing people on the fly, without any formal training, just the relentless need to succeed.
Tekion wasn’t just a job, it was a part of me. The decision to leave was heavy, filled with a sense of loss. Yet, deep down, I knew stepping away from the security and comfort of Tekion, to new challenges could push me further up the ladder. Staying would have been safe, but growth requires risk, and I was ready to take it. The idea of solving real problems, of making a tangible impact, was exhilarating.
Leaving Tekion wasn’t just about stepping away; it was about stepping into something bigger, something that could redefine the industry. The risk was high, but the reward, the chance to build something I truly believed in, made it all worth it.
