Wait till you see public companies

publicly trade companies? the ones purely focused on profit? yup, hate 'em

Yeah I was gonna say. Not nearly as bad as public companies. I'd take private companies any fucking day of the week over those soulless bastards.

Wait 'till you look into the public sector (i.e. working for the government).

Still more focused on results than profits tho, and more accountable

Yeah, I'd rather have a soulless government branch that actually fucks me over than a soulless corporation that fucks me over. At least the former tends to pay more and have better job security.

Government jobs pay more than corporate jobs? That really depend on the job I guess.

Not in my experience. Idk how it works in the US but as a consultant I worked in public companies around the world and dude, those are the worst. They will need 2/3 people to do the job of 1 because they don't work like private companies and don't usually fire people as fast if they don't have an acceptable performance. A lot of people doing nothing and 1/2 guys keeping everything running. Mind you, with public money
