Comment on Ask HN: What makes someone hate their job?

Comments

Pay - when I am not getting paid as much as I “should”. It’s all relative though. I don’t expect any company outside of BigTech to match BigTech comp (been there done that, not interested in going back).

Any job where I actually go into an office. But the company has to be “remote only”.

Autonomy - for the last decade I have mostly had complete autonomy on the “how” within very wide understandable guardrails when I led projects.

I don’t do side projects and never have during my 30 year career. So the company I work for has to be using marketable up to date tech.

Also I would hate to be on call.

I don’t care about the “mission”. It’s a paycheck.
