Taking a risk

For around the last year I have been really annoyed with myself for not living up to my full potential. Know the feeling? Perhaps the worst part about achieving some level of success in your chosen career, is that once you have something to lose you are hesitant to gamble it all.

Towards the end of last year though, some things happened in my life that now mean that just being ‘comfortable’ is no longer an option that I can live with. 

Today is my last day at Microsoft. Thank you to everyone I have worked with over the past eight years. I have loved working with the all the smart, passionate and hardworking people here. 

If you are interested in what I am up to next, I’ll be blogging over here from now on.

Mark.
