I’m gonna call bullshit.

If an open office sucks or the other reasons listed suck, just leave. There is a virus out there that you NEED a company to be ‘someone’ in the dev world. This is a lie.

Med > big > bigger companies really don’t care about you. That’s why they have ‘human resources’ - you are just a resource. And HR Is there only to protect the company and not you.

The best thing you can do is think for yourself and listen to your intuition. If it’s telling you “this is lame” for whatever reason, it’s in YOUR best interest to leave and do something else. Start your own company or 1 person labor of love and don’t worry about someone else’s opinion.

You have a very limited time on this planet and you should be living your life to your fullest. Not to any company’s. You’re just selling yourself short otherwise.
