Guys, I’ve been at my company 2 years. Pay is fine, 90% remote, pretty chill. I’m a high-performing engineer but so disgruntled with the culture and corporate BS. A promised title bump is taking ages. Plus, cross-team collaboration is a siloed mess and efficiency has plummeted. Is it like this at all mid-sized corporate jobs, or do I need to move to a smaller, genuinely agile company to feel challenged and fulfilled?

I joke. Wells Fargo culture depended on what department and group you were in. Also,. now the culture has taken a noise dive and most people are now 100% in the office.

If you want a promotion, apply elsewhere. Most places are soul sucking, might as well get paid more

I’ve been unsustainably swamped for months. Partner said they wanted to add an additional, more senior associate to the team on one massive case that went from “stayed” to “on fire” in the span of a month. I said that sounded awesome and the thought of someone else having to take on some responsibilities was such a relief… so why do I feel competitive and threatened now that the senior associate has actually been added? 🙄

I want to be more thoughtful on my next move and although interviewing right away would be logical I feel I want to take a break and some time for myself. Take a month or two off working and use that time to plan thoughtfully on my next move. Would having that gap in my resume be an issue when I go back to the job market?
