My problem with non-software companies is that they don't treat programmers as equals. To them they will always be "code monkeys" and below the mechanical or electrical engineers. These companies are led by people who think all programmers are stereotypical "nerds" and try to create software departments according to the script of The Big Bang Theory. Just look at this crap I was sent by a recruiter: https://www.mercedes-benz.io/ https://www.mercedes-benz.io/ It's chock full of buzz words and infantilizing language. I don't want to "impact", "move the world" or whatever bullshit the marketing department can pull out its ass. I want good pay, good work-life balance and I want to be treated as a professional.
