My personal preference and risk appetite takes me to successful small public companies or well-funded startups.
If I don't have a risk appetite, I'd go government or boring F500 companies that are starving for engineers.
Wherever I go, I am very particular about the mission and that I get along with the team and manager. The less the bureaucracy, the more likely I am to enjoy working for them.
But there is no way I will work for big tech with their miserable processes, culture and exploitative management. I am here to work, not to constantly walk on eggshells for BS rules.
