After about 3 years with my soon-to-be former company, I’m finally taking my talents (or lack thereof) to “South Beach”. It’s not entirely easy. It feels like breaking up with your first true love. (Ugh. Cheesy alert.) It’s an uncommon scenario for me because I practically started my “career” with them ever since I graduated.…
