So one day on tech huddle my tech lead got frustrated, don't know why and told me - "the tasks you're doing can be done by interns"

I felt bad. Ofcourse I was putting my 100%.

That day I decided to put the resignation. I didn't discussed with anyone about it and sent the resignation email directly.

After serving 2 months of notice period I was able to land a better job successfully!

I called the lead on the last working day in that company and shared him the news about my offer letter and a little about the company.
His first question was - "Did you cleared all the interview process?"
In my mind - "That's only why I'm sharing the news here with you man! Stop thinking of me as a noob."
I replied with - "yes, if needed/the new company try to get feedback about me then please be honest atleast there by keeping your ego aside."

You shouldn't pull someone's leg if you aren't able to climb higher!!

Lesson I learnt;
DON'T STAY AT A PLACE WHERE THERE'S NO VALUE OF YOUR WORK AND THE DEDICATION TOWARDS IT!

Working in a startup isn't that easy, mostly for those where there's no work life balance.

    The tech lead sounds like an ass.

    Buut I'm Legit wondering about the quote "could've been done by an intern".

    What was he implying?

    It'd not necessarily a diss of your work capacity. Maybe you could do minor tasks 10x as fast as an intern.

    But he thinks you should focus on major tickets.

    I've had talented colleagues that seemed to shy away from big projects as they feared being held responsible which lead to them being the "small fixers" and not getting the credit they deserved.
