I hate large companies. I don’t have the bullshit tolerance to do it. I’m at a point in my life where I still need to work. But I don’t need to chase after maximum compensation. I will only go into startups or any company at this point in a strategic position. I don’t do on call, I need to be close to the decision makers in the org chart - CxO, Director, etc and not a powerless middle manager. I also need them to understand that I don’t work crazy hours. But we can always negotiate priorities and balance time, cost, and requirements. All of the big tech and adjacent companies now seem to have return to office mandates. I only work remote, hybrid is not an option. I will hop on a plane for a business trip in a heartbeat if required
