[img src="" caption="" credit="" alt=""]Google has successfully cajoled many smart techies to join their camp in the past, but lately they're also losing some of their best and brightest. This time it's Nathan Stoll, product manager of Google News, who has written about the experience of leaving the big G on his personal blog.
"I feel like I'm breaking up with Google", says Nathan, yelping "Can we still be friends?" Don't feel too sad for him, though; as he himself admits, leaving Google doesn't exactly leave you penniless on the street; more likely you'll be hired by some other market leader for a hefty salary. Other than "tackling new endeavors", it's hard to determine any actual reasons for Nathan's departure; we wish him luck in the future.
*update: our reader Mark Douglass points out that Kevin Fox, user experience designer for Google, is leaving Google today, too. What's this, an epidemic?
