Yes. This year I plan to join a large corp with good engineering standards. I am going to grind leetcode and system design if I can double my salary. If I fail at grinding leetcode I'm just going to apply everywhere and make move to a better corp. Reasons: Understaffed. Things constantly breaking, which I have no power to fix because of a legacy system. New features over reliability. Poor team communication. People on different pages. Lack of care about quality as long as it works.

  Honestly, if I am going to swim in shit, I would much rather swim in shit at bigger corp making more money. As long as its not predatory lending I don't really care. I think microsoft has decent standards, but hard to get a remote position from last time I talked to a recruiter.

I'm in the exact situation. Thought a legacy system would be a fun project to modernize. Nope. It's hell. They don't want it modernized. Knowing more about it than before, I couldn't even if I wanted to. So for 2 years I've been keeping the house of cards and duck tape from falling over and I just can't give a fuck anymore.
