Reason for leaving:
Company decided to relocate offices to a new city, looking for a new challenge

As I reflect on that experience, I really loved my role and coworkers, but it came to a point where I could not take a pay cut to re-locate and stay. I learned a lot, and I’m excited about the opportunity to bring that maturity to my next job. This role is in line with my skills and abilities, and the direction I’d like my career to take.
