I feel this. One of the big things I’ve learned over the past 5 years is that an organization must be ripe to use software developers productively; many organizations seem to hire developers but keep them under bad management. You can’t develop yourself out of a bad environment. My advice - roll the dice again, with a bit more wisdom this time. Eventually you might see some patterns allowing you to select better employers. Personally, I have a better time in smaller businesses with fewer management layers.
