Ah yeah nothing like the most barebones PoC to learn a lot about something. Bird's eye view and all that. Good that you're already thinking 'next'! The blow you speak of is common unfortunately between different types, and there is always a sorta 'dominant' type in every business. Sometimes it's the engineers, sometimes it's the marketing, sometimes it's sales, sometimes it's c-execs. That's one piece of info worth having to make more informed career choices, depending on your goal — you usually thrive as part of the dominant type, i.e. "ethos" of the company. Look at the CEO and background of the managing backbone. It usually says a lot about a company's culture, who matters and who's recycled perpetually.
