I work for a start up that got sold to a big bank and the experience has been exactly the same.

If the job market wasn’t so terrible right now, I’d have left already.

Up to room 46, it felt like every failed run built up to your eventual success, like any good roguelite. You failed, but at least gained a bit of knowledge, a permanent upgrade or improvement to the state.

That’s exactly how it happened at my previous job :(

Yeah, that one…

I once had a junior calling me in a panic because he didn’t know how to quit nano. NANO!
