If you aren't a 25 year old kid trying to win the startup lottery at a future unicorn, or getting fat at FAANG, then these jobs are great. They move slower, so their processes are often very well refined, the churn is low and the change/velocity is even.

There are few fires to fight in a stable company with moderate growth, a low change rate, and predictable customer behaviors. Disorganization and exhaustion is usually a side effect of hyper growth.

When I hit 40 or so, I accepted I wasn't going to be a billionaire and that I was too old and too mediocre to get a job at a unicorn. I still provided a lot of value for my customers in last few years of work before I retired from tech.

If you are ready to transition from "My life is my work! I'm going to kill it, crush it, and get my lamb" .. Then look for a stable, low growth company which disappointed investors but not customers.
