On: Why I left Google (HN search results)

I think such situation exists in almost all high-salary sectors. Financial - why I left Golman/Merrill Lynch/Wall Street stories, etc. People will try to explain everything from moral side. It's permanent dilemma.

Is it really "trying to explain everything from a moral side", or just that main non-moral reason for leaving -- better pay -- is not in play?

For sure, when it's gonna be another 5th wave of financial crisis employees just move between sectors - from private to state (more secure). I'm not sure it's somehow related to IT at all or Google in particular, but this migration type really exists.
