I sent this out to my coworkers and friends at Google a couple weeks ago:
I'm not quitting, I'm declaring victory and moving on.
My last day at Google will be Friday, April 1. It's been an honor to have worked at Google over the last 5 years. There's a real wealth of intelligence, passion, talent, generosity, and big hearts here, and I'm hoping for your continued success.
A big, genuine thank you to everyone, especially the official and unofficial mentors and the people who went out of their way to help even when they didn't have to.
FAQ:
Wait, I thought you resigned last fall!?
That was Ian Langworth! I still can't escape the Ian-Matt-Lan-Rob confusion!
What are you going to do next?
I'm going to Disney World! No, seriously, I'm going to Disney World in May. I'm taking about a month and a half off. After that, I'm going to work at Palantir on their Finance product. I'm excited about what they're doing and the approach they're taking.
Will there be drinks?
Yes! Details forthcoming!
How can I reach you?
Twitter @mlroach
I wish you all the best,
Matt
P.S. If I may quote Kevin Stephens quoting someone else, "I've been offended by not getting people's farewell emails before, but now, facing up to the task of not spamming and not leaving anyone out, I see it's a daunting one. If this reached you and you don't give a hoot that I'm leaving, sorry for the spam. If this was forwarded to you and you're offended at being left off the list, sorry as well."
