You had a rare person there with that CTO. Most people avoid conflict at all costs, so as soon as the conversation becomes heated for whatever reason, they shut it down.

My current CTO is like that, and it's an awful working environment.

If it wasn’t a severe conflict of interest, I would love to work with him again as an independent contractor on the side.

I wouldn’t work for him at his new company only because while he is having some similar challenges that we have worked together before to solve, I am not a good long term employee at any company these days except where I work now.

I enjoy seeing a problem, helping to solve the problem, train the organization and moving on. I need to constantly be “putting myself out of a job”.

I am the same way in a lot of ways, if I don't have a "problem" to work on I get in a bad place.

Amazon gives you this, or is the role just so drastically different in other ways?
