You think these people have jobs, anon?

You're reading the commentary of a bunch of kids who haven't entered the workforce yet. They still think they're going to be rock stars.

There's nothing wrong with working for a startup.

Any work exp is learning exp

I've worked at a bank, finance, energy, consulting in around 8 years with different roles and now I can do whatever I want (dont want to work for anyone else, ever)

Just throwing it in, absorbing company culture and dynamics is positive so long it's really what you want and your personal motivation to perform

Any job isn't inherently bad in itself

Be yourself
