Absolutely, it sucks, but that is the system they've decided to use, for what is likely a long-long term net gain compared to not coming in.

They should spend years 6 and 7 looking for better prospects, and move to greener pastures as soon as they possibly can.

I personally immigrated to a new country and was locked in for 4 years at a job that demanded more and more of my time and life energy. Leaving was one of the most long-term positive things I've ever done, and the 4 years was worth it.

Again, it's going to take years, and be hard work. And it's going to be worth it.

Exactly! I'm currently going through this process. I'm just pointing out that "quit your job" is not always an option. Regardless of how burnt out I am, I'm still gonna show up to work tomorrow and do as much as I fucking can to do valuable things for the company. No I know this is a shitty way to waste away my life and 20s but I honestly don't know any better way to live.
