I was working at a tiny company (at times just me and the president/owner) providing shopping cart SaaS. Initially I quit 'cause I was tired of working there but continued on as a contractor at higher pay for several months. I left completely when they stopped being able to pay me. I can't tell if they're still around but the company certainly hasn't lived up to its potential, they never made a serious investment in technology and have fallen hugely behind all of the competition.

My title was irrelevant due to the size of the company.

Short lessons? Probably to get out sooner rather than later when you recognize deep problems in a company.

I wish I knew how much my skills were worth back then and a better way to market them.
