> I've lost all respect for people who operate as the middleman between the development team and the business side, mostly because when it comes down to choosing a side, they'll side with the business, and play their politics game.

Don't let this stereotype poison your career. Not everyone is like that, but if you assume they are, they likely will be. Relationships are so key.

Sadly I’ve met so many of these people, that my default assumption is that everyone is like this.

I’m sure there’s good ones, and I really hope I get a chance to work with them.

Like the good cops versus the bad cops, they don't stand out. And they won't be advertising how hard they are working for people like you. Search them out, and give people the benefit of the doubt.
