Senior Software Engineer at a large co. that was still somewhat connected to its startup roots. Then it got acquired by a huge co. with a real stifling culture and it was time to leave. On the plus side, I made good money during that period, and managed to save a bunch, so now I'm using that to bootstrap my own startup.
