Comment on Ask HN: How many have learned a language they hated just to get a job? parent

Interesting. Everything you say runs directly counter to my experience. However I've also never worked at the kind of large company that you're talking about.

With one exception. My first job involved consulting at Bristol-Myers Squibb. The result of that was that for some time I was unable to enjoy Dilbert cartoons because the wounds were too raw. They were true.

Based on that experience I wouldn't want to work for that kind of large corporation. Luckily tech tends to be filled with young companies that grew up with very different cultures, so I've never again had to suffer through that kind of dysfunctional culture.
