Word of advice from someone who left: if you've reached the point you're trashing work for a root-level OKR that is considered existential, taking an absolutist exaggerated stance against it, and discussing fine-grained details of internal tools, while claiming they go against PR/"research papers"...you're well past the right time to leave.

We all have unique circumstances, but I can almost guarantee you that you'll be absurdly happier elsewhere.

Life's short, and no matter how much you save, something can take it away.

Better to start pursuing it now, than after being the sacrificial MI, or after the call from HR asking you to chill because a VP got upset and had lackeys reverse engineer your identity.

Well, that's easy for you to say. People have family to feed, right?

Thanks for your insightful contribution - I read the post again and found this right after what you found, like, right after. I hope this helps clarify

Guarantee with what? Personal money? I know people who have more than 3+ years of experience having trouble with getting an offer after months of searching these days. What can you offer to guarantee the "happiness" "elsewhere"?

Such a ridiculous, out of touch comment.
