Yup, super similar situation as my friend. He was actually interviewing with some interesting companies, but part of the problem, even if they had a good tech stack, was he'd be a small cog in a big wheel.

That's one of the appeals of some startups, you're making an impact, as long as you love the problem they're solving, and think they'll be "successful", whatever that means to you.

You know, I actually wouldn't mind being a small cog if I could exercise the skills I consider to be my strengths.

What I'm fed up with is being given task after task where I have to learn whole new technologies each time, with not enough time to learn and do a decent job. It makes me feel incompetent and useless.
