Re:A megacorp is not your dream job by analog31 on Friday January 01, 2021 @06:03PM (#25608229)
A megacorp is my dream job. They hired me 20+ years ago. I got in through the back door during a hiring freeze, and have carved my own niche, mainly by enjoying the kind of work that most engineers hate and being able to communicate the results. I live in a pleasant town, ride my bike to work, play in a band, and enjoy outdoor activities. I've received regular promotions, and am at the highest level that anybody's ever gotten without being a manager.

And I'm working with really nice people.

Maybe it's my imposter syndrome speaking, but I always think that I've pulled a fast one by getting this far in my career without being exposed as an incompetent.

Certainly, there's someone X levels above me who doesn't know who I am and doesn't care, but that really doesn't affect my life.
