“He gave me a choice. He said, I could walk out of there with two weeks’ pay and just leave, or I could sign a severance deal and go, and you know, get up in front of everyone who reported to me and everyone that I worked with, and essentially say, ‘Hey, I'm leaving the organization.’” – Scott Anthony Barlow
“So, no matter which way you look at it, I would encourage you to find and expose yourself to people that are doing what you want to be doing in one way or another. So, if that is identifying work that is meaningful for you, and then making a change without starting over and bringing over your experiences, and then getting well compensated for doing so, then that's where you begin.” – Scott Anthony Barlow
“If you do a little tiny bit of work up front and execute some experiments, then that helps you either pivot quickly at the beginning, or it helps you reinforce that, yes, I am, in fact going the right direction for me.” – Scott Anthony Barlow
