I am quite curious about those who attain highly paid job at big tech companies like MAGMA that are still not satisfied with their job. I believe most of the engineers working at big tech should be happy about their position. Yet, I see frequent comments on why people want to quit big tech and work for a local startup or smaller company. Why is it being such a trend?<p>If it is a moral issue or interest conflicts, I completely understand it. Other than that, what may be the reasons? I would like to know your opinions on it!<p>Thank you in advance.
> I believe most of the engineers working at big tech should be happy about their position.<p>I'm unhappy because I'm still spending 40+ hours a week making rich assholes richer. I'll be happier when I've saved up enough that I can afford to <i>stop working</i>. The nicest job in the world is still a <i>job</i>. Having a boss sucks, no matter how good your boss might be.
> I am quite curious about those who attain highly paid job at big tech companies like MAGMA that are still not satisfied with their job.<p>It may sound obvious, but maybe because money is not everything?<p>Personally, working at smaller companies means having a higher impact and more meaningful interactions.
Because I can't make any decisions. I've been robbed of the ability to express my skills using my own methods to accomplish our mutual goals.
