I work at a mid-sized startup operating in the eCommerce space. We're well funded (Series D, recently acquired another company) and have lots of clients so it's a good place to be at. Honestly, since we got bigger, I miss the joys of being able to code more engg driven features, and actually innovate, as opposed to be driven by what the clients want (which are usually fancier dashboards or more reliability).

But being at a good work place at a stable time means I have time to take it easy at work and actually work on stuff that I'm more passionate about outside of work while not having to worry about financial stability.Currently doing a deep dive on Deep learning/LSTMs etc., reading like crazy, planning travel as well.

I have good work-life balance, and I'm making sure I grow as an individual/developer while also contributing to the company so I'm in a pretty good place! :)
