Yeah, this is why after almost half a decade of working remote, I refuse to entertain the song and dance for working for the giants. Plenty of other places pay enough, with less stress, less koolaid drinking and less rear orifice licking for those that prefer it.
- justapassenger 6y agoYeah working at smaller shops has an advantage of less overhead and you can focus more on the pure technical stuff. It can be very rewarding. But aligning and navigating how to work through the org doesn’t have to be rear licking (although, it often is). Any big org requires you to figure out how to navigate it, even if it’s meritocracy. Understanding what your business needs and figuring out right solutions for it, that are realistic and can be delivered, is a very valid engineering work.
