Roshan Gupta, a former Google executive, relocated to Portugal in 2022, seeking better work-life balance and entrepreneurship. Despite a successful career, the toll of constant connectivity and industry pressures prompted his decision. Gupta emphasized that significant life changes are often the result of accumulated smaller moments rather than a singular event. He cautioned newcomers to the tech field about the industry's demanding nature, which can negatively impact personal life over time.
When people make big changes, often there's this sort of big moment. But the truth is, it's a collection of all these other moments and the catalyst that finally puts you over the top.
The catalyst was a tough work-life balance. My wife and I both worked in tech and we found that the more we did and the more success we had on paper, the worse our quality of life was getting.
