Worked for a large corporation in a non-tech space. It wasn’t the worst job as far as pay/benefits goes, but holy shit I wasn’t able to do anything in that job. The project I was specifically hired for basically never got off the ground. It got stuck in some weird void where bureaucrats and managers constantly argued about X or Y to the point nothing got done. And my job became a mix of “sit around” or “support any rando who needed a little relief, leading me to get stuck supporting COTS shitware. After two years of basically nothing happening (despite them hiring more people for the project) I left for the job that would then lay me off last year.
