| My 2c Working at a “large tech” company can be rewarding in several ways. Less stress, more pay, huge tech stacks and access to more resources within the company. My advice is to prioritise the work for your role, but also look for other problems in the company that you can (and want to) solve… without somebody asking you too. If you discover that a new script can improve CI builds, or a new internal website can help people find documentation…etc… the rest of the company would be thankful for your effort, and if everyone loves it that could be your new responsibility! Compare this to a “small tech” company, it’s generally less resources, less pay, more stress, more hours, tighter deadlines etc… which makes it harder to work outside your immediate responsibilities Basically, it’s easier to go off and find random problems to solve with your programming skills in a large company, as they’re generally in a better position… and have more problems. Ironically this means an individual can “feel more entrepreneurial” in a large company a lot of the time |

Yeah, why not actually? This could just work. Thanks :)
