What you're saying makes sense but i'd encourage people to keep an open mind. I accepted my job right out college with a BS in cs. Their offer was lower than i hoped, but still above average, with no wiggle room to negotiate. I was hoping to do some data science related work, and by 6 months in i had done a tiny bit of front end javascript only. I did not even have admin rights on my laptop. The commute was long and i worked on a floor with almost no one on it. So i worked my ass off, never complained, developed some minor process improvements in my spare time. They gave me a shiny new comp with admin rights and a 20+% raise. Put me on a co located high performing team, with options to work from home a few days a week if id like. My point is, if youre working for reasonable good hearted people and work hard, the rest might only be temporary. I got lucky but in hindsight id ask about the people.
