I was the lead engineer at a small, B2B startup. We got N millions in seed funding, but the product barely got any traction. Growth was slow. The last couple years there were definitely zombie-like, after most of the original team was laid off or left on their own.

I eventually moved on to be a cog-in-the-machine principal engineer at a larger company. To be honest, it's not very satisfying. I prefer earlier stage, even though it's generally lower pay for higher risk.

I'll probably do something else soon.
