Like others have pointed out, a career in tech doesn't necessarily follow a linear path.
I landed my highest profile job so far as a fresh graduate, but I quickly found out it was a miserable place to be in. I have made a healthy work environment my top priority ever since. In my opinion you should chase what makes you happy, which may or may not be what makes some random HN users happy.

There are places that are absolutely terrible and these are easy to spot, but there are many functionally toxic places that you just can’t spot until you’ve accepted the job and are a few months in. What then? Suck it for a while? Quit and start over?
