I've been working in technology-oriented companies for 7 years now and am looking to start my traditional search soon. I'm curious if there are any like-background searchers out there - folks who have worked at FAANG or high-tech firms and are or have made the jump to searching for an ostensibly lower-tech company in the low-mid market. I'd love to chat about the differences, both anticipated and real.

I went the other way. Much more fun to play in a space where you have an unfair advantage.

Surprising pivot. Why would not look for a lower middle market tech acquisition?
