To be fair, the “corporate world” for me has been working full time for cloud consulting companies for the past 5 years.

As long as you stay away from staff augmentation projects, it’s not bad. Most of my day to day work is working directly with clients. Unless you are a junior, you’re usually over your part of larger projects (mid level) with little micro managing or the project itself (senior, staff). You’re always of course answerable to your client.

I do understand though. My first stint working in consulting was the consulting department at AWS (full time, direct hire). I would rather get a daily anal probe with a cactus than ever work for a large company again.

I didn’t mind working for a 60 person startup before then where all of the people in charge were grown people and not tech bros
