Yeah, I left my last company after almost the entire dev team was poached. And a coworker of mine who moved to a much better position at a much better company got me an interview to run their mobile app team. And it was a no-brainer to take the offer. But I never burned bridges. I spent my last two weeks documenting all the things I had built that were living inside my head. And 6 months later the CEO of my previous company sent me a video begging me to come back, with a “name your price” salary to be director of engineering. I could have taken it for more money, but it was an ad agency, and incredibly stressful. So I kindly turned down the offer in person because burning bridges is just never a good idea
