> second one is the one to make a career in software dev.

Your comment and a dozen others make this out to be so black and white. If this is true then why am I finding it so difficult to make a career out of these situations. I find it impossible to identify companies in this category that are good to work for. Does anyone have any heuristics, or should I keep bouncing from one to the next until I get lucky?

Just look for “good WLB” in the Glassdoor/blind reviews, AND that the company is healthy (doesn’t need to be a rocket ship) business wise
