Summary from the TLDR Web Dev newsletter

Software engineers and tech leaders are leaving prestigious Big Tech companies. There are various reasons why, like the decline in job security due to recent layoffs, the allure of professional growth and leadership opportunities offered by startups, and the perceived limitations of career progression within large corporations. There's also the impact of equity compensation and the potential for significant pay drops when stock prices fall or initial grants expire.
