Hey people,
I quit yesterday, after 1.5 years of promises that were left unfinished by my bosses. I am just fed up with the leash called “stock option”.
I started looking for new jobs last week and saw that I can easily find new work, which increased my self esteem quite a bit. My new job pays much more, but I can't shake the fears and anxiety of letting the stock option go.
I live in Turkey (shit economy) and a 100k USD in stock options would really secure a life for me here, at least would give me the option to start my own businesses. I still don't regret my decision quitting, but I want to ask you people how you deal with fear of regret that may come in near future.
Fyi, current job is in mobile gaming industry, new job will be in AR industry, B2B AR implementation for sneaker companies etc. They also started some partnerships with cool NFT projects and are also offering me stock option as well. But the old company is close to finishing a deal with the investor
