The provided text is an extended, introspective essay written by a senior engineering leader detailing the reasons for his resignation from Amazon Web Services (AWS) after four and a half years at the Cape Town headquarters. The author structures his departure around three core concerns: Spirituality and Conscience, particularly regarding the company's involvement in projects like Project Nimbus amid the Middle East conflict; Lack of Professional Growth, driven by structural changes within AWS and limited opportunities for promotion to director level (L8) in South Africa; and Negative Return on Investment (ROI) in Time, exemplified by increasing work hours, extensive weekend work, and compromised work-life balance, despite the financial success of his stock options. The essay concludes that the job no longer provided satisfactory personal, professional, or spiritual alignment, leading him to pursue a new role in Intelligent Traffic Systems with a local South African company.
