  • I’m a software dev whose first job out of college was at a tiny company, 10-15 people.

    Pros: I learned a lot. Each project had different technologies involved. I def didn’t get bored! Basically no red tape. I reported to the IT director, and he reported to the owner. Nothing could really get lost in bureaucracy there.

    Cons: Payscale was weak, but eh, it was my first job out of college. No room for advancement. What even is a promotion when the whole company is only a dozen people? Limited mentoring. While I had a lot of guidance from my boss there, especially early on, now years later I’m looking back, wishing I’d gotten a more varied perspective. You can only learn so much from one person’s perspective.

    are you claiming your job makes you happy? Why don’t you do it for free?

    No, turn this around. Everyone needs a way to pay the bills. But there are lots of ways to pay them. Lots of different jobs.

    Would you rather work at a job where you’re happy or where you’re miserable?

    A lot of people find their jobs easier if they’re on friendly terms with their coworkers.

    Please note, this is not the same as being close friends with your coworkers.
