I'd like to add "working in antiquated/propriety languages and infrastructure" in the list. As a new grad desperate for getting paid, I took a job working for a software built on a language no one uses outside of the company. Never got a promotion. Everyone was 10+ veteran. The processes was bureaucratic and inefficient but everyone was ok with it. After realizing I was paid 60% of market rate, I wanted to get out but it was hard. I thought about software architecture built when I was born. I was out-of-touch about new trends. LeetCode-like questions were my saviour because it's a way to break into the job interview process. Getting a new job away from antiquated tech was one of my best day in my career!
