This is very personal. I couldn't sit with the suits talking high level about the future company directions, new improvement and efficiency processes bla bla.

This is very personal. I couldn't sit with the suits talking high level about the future company directions, new improvement and efficiency processes bla bla. My first job was at a crapy webshop with all juniors. Worst code I've ever seen (except offshore code). Last years I have had projects with developers all >10yrs experience. It is very rewarding! I like programming, I like technical discussions, and I like to tell management they are wrong (which they very often are). You can have a lot of impact being someone who actually knows what he talks about.
