Most companies are dysfunctional. If you find a company that is able to take full advantage of you excitement, passion, enthusiasm and drive... you're lucky. Don't take this as a reflection on yourself, don't feel any obligation to suffer at a job you don't love, just keep looking for the right company. You might get lucky and find it quickly, you might get unlucky and spend years, but each time you get a job you'll hopefully learn more about what you need to look to avoid. A great privilege of technology is that job hopping isn't punished because technologists are in such high demand.
