The mindset change isn’t that different. This is just part of the experience of growing and maturing in your career.

I think people with startup backgrounds in big tech tend to hustle harder in their careers than people that were “born” in that environment.

I can see your point of view, but I gently disagree. This is based on my own experience.

Being able to see, react and change based on changing business goals was the key to my career success. Being able to talk to decision makers and get something in place to mitigate risk/take advantage is a key thing in buisness.

Going from being able to do that, to not even knowing what the business goals are, much less getting access to any kind of decision maker is a tough change. Its like having the scope of a CTO and then going to a scope of an intern. You feel infantalised.
