So after an amazing 2 years and 7 months at Flip as backend engineer, I finally signed out. Actually almost no issues at work, but there are family circumstances that made me took hard decision to leave after new working arrangement that full working remotely is not an option anymore. Tried to negotiate but the result still no.
So I took this decision.

Long time ago I dreamed building an amazing product and widely used by many peoples. Joining Flip was one of my best decision to achieve that goal. I didn’t really have many experience to build a SaaS product with a complex system and huge traffic before and at this company I’ve learned a lot how to do that.
Also learned a lot about
Managing large legacy codebase yet still has quite good maintainability
Learned Go
Handling huge amount of traffic and billion value of transactions
Handling production incidents
Leading project or tech initiatives
Many good technical insights from great engineers
Making a good product that satisfies customers
Insight about running organization for almost hundreds engineers
Learned FE development (just a little)
Many more…
Couldn’t tell any detail but I made 20++ RFCs for tech initiatives that almost 90% implemented successfully in my team. Also released 200++ merge requests into our main repository.

Hopefully my team don’t blame me for the messy codes I wrote.
So I am still looking for the new opportunity especially for remote working. There’re several prospects but let's see.
On the other side I want to take a break for a moment, refreshing my mind, re-learning many things to reshaping my current expertise. Although many years of experiences, many rejections would still affecting my confident levels. At this point I am questioning myself whether this is an effect of the tech winter or just skill issues of mine.
One of my best friend in college offered me to help him build a digital product which we believed there’s potential on that. Not sure how, but I do have a plan to discuss it with him.
I am thinking about Upwork but looks very hard especially when you are new and have no reputation yet. Alternatively perhaps I will looking some coding gigs that could helped me grinding new tech. Not really fast pace but should be comfortable enough to gain experience safely while building portfolios.
That’s it, looking forward for the new chapter.
See you around, folks!
