I will only work for small companies now. And only when my personal views match and I honestly feel what I’m working on is worthwhile to society.
I like the experience a lot more this way.
I’m lucky to be able to make that choice, but the work is much more rewarding.
How do you find such companies, in my experience small startups want to own all your time and expect you to be working constantly to meet their crazy deadlines, so that's a no go for me, slightly older medium sized companies are a coin toss, the one I worked at had abusive people entrenched into top positions who just want to whip you for their ego, while the company itself is running in shambles because no one working there gives a shit about the job and the product. How do I find a small company with a healthy work life balance and decent colleagues and managers, I don't need to much salary either, just the standard wage that matches the cost of living
