According to a post Wong made to Quora in 2014, he resigned from Reddit after the board refused to consider a proposal he made that would have moved the company’s offices. Additionally, Wong shared that working as the CEO of a company exhausted him and was a considerable source of stress. He said that, as this was his first job as a CEO, he had no idea of the amount of work that would be required and just couldn’t handle any more of it. Some think Wong’s young age was why he resigned, but he does not mention this as a factor.
