OP what do you mean learnings from corporate? I have had tons of coporate trainings that we are required to do but not sure exactly what kind of advice you are seeking to be able to help you.

If you mean what have I learned from working in the corporate space it would be that no one is your friend and that HR isn’t your friend. Always put yourself, your interests, and your mental health first.

The sum of my corporate learnings:

Good coworkers can make bad jobs bearable.
Bad coworkers can make good jobs unbearable.
If stuck between those two choices, pick the one with the higher salary.
