> I'm doing meaningful work and making the world better, which was missing from the last couple of months at FB.

Does it mean you felt you were making the work a better place during the earlier couple of years at FB?

Most definitely. Most of my time in FB was spent at the very least making FB a better company. I was solving problems that impacted our users or our engineers. The last year though, not so much. I joined a team that I believed was doing revolutionary work, but as the company's leadership redefined what its goals, the team became vegetative and I was spending most of my time trying to find something meaningful to do.

By comparison, everything I do now improving the company I work at, and at most times has a direct, positive impact on our users and in a smaller way on society
