Even if you do work at a place like that, you can just get a job elsewhere (with similar pay, if you're outside of the US). I used to work full time (50 hour week including commute) for a company with a really high-performing software culture full time, and quit to do my own thing just before COVID. I now work about 20 hours a week and pull in a slightly higher wage compared to before. Better yet, any productivity improvements go directly to the bottom line, so I experience more wage growth in a month now than I did in a year back in industry.
