That's still an improvement, IMHO. And the degree to which you get bitten by the same problems depends on the size and culture of the company you're joining. Small, agile (usually young) companies tend to be better in this regard but you trade off other things like experienced management.

Yes, and no. In both cases it can be still something of a lottery. In particular, I think you may find good management at small companies too, and I know you can find coasting incompetent managers at huge companies.

I hope so. I enjoy programming for myself, and taking some challenges in Python currently, I'm not sure how it will go as a job. Hope is confy enough to not regret the change, I'm pretty tired of having a low pay but high complex job.
This. People get tired of the enormous overhead everything has, and gets lazy in the end.
I work for an ISP and I have my days, but some weeks I can't care less. I tried so many times to drill into people's minds how to not get tangled by complexity and then watching them just do the opposite...
Now I'm teaching myself programming so I can get out of this, but It seems I'm only going to upgrade my pay and be bitten by the same problems.
