- Bench time, this resulted in a waste of about a year of my career, was very boring and I couldn't leave because I didn't yet have enough experience.
- Below-average pay across the board despite 9-6pm expectation, no real inflation correction
- Lackluster projects and no choice
- Market downturns...
- Lack of culture. Everyone works from home except maybe one day a month in London (not good for learning early in your career when everything is via video call). I was lonely here.
- People leaving, what is there to look forward to?
