[ChasingEchoes]

i guess its up to what everyone is looking for.

I personally avoid start-ups like the plague. To the point where i dont even bother accepting linkedin requests from startup people

Im not that big of a fan of "Big Tech" either, i wouldnt go for something like FAANG, even if maybe the pay would be good

What gave me a happy life was "industry" firms. In my case those were either consultancy/strategy firms (MBB/Big4 ) at first, which was stressful, but had good advancement chances (jumping steps based on performance) and very good networking opportunities.

Now i've retreated in "an industry". In my case a forbes 100 company in the automotive sector (they have cloud systems and develop software too). And life is bliss.
