I left my previous company because the projects & expectations were constantly changing. Now this company, nobody has talked to both parties to manage the expectations of our product. I also have no idea what the expectations are even.

I mentioned it in the last meeting and some actions have been taken. They cancelled the meeting between the dev team & users (colleagues). One step back and 0 steps forward (:

The grass is always greener.

Seriously, though, there is definitely a good company where annoyances are minimal && the negatives are acceptable, while providing worthwhile positives that make you want to stay there.

...just have to find it, first.

Damn, can't edit to add picture to previous comment. Anyway, on that note:

@D-4got10-01 Haven't seen that comic yet, thanks for sharing.

No new tech stacks for me. They advertised that I had to write a tiny bit of backend code but that hasn't happened yet (and the needed sdk is not yet authorized to be installed lol).

@D-4got10-01 Definitely. At least from the bright side, this job has fresh projects so now tech debt to fix/work around. The salary is a big improvement (but still average lol), at least I'm no longer far below the average :D The daily travel time is 25 minutes in total compared to 1h15. No work drama (yet). No 'mandatory' pingpong matches with a 2h commute.

But still a few other cons like more days in the office, product management still lacking, less health-focused mentality (previous job had free food and colleagues were all sportive, ..., this job offers limited free snacks, overweight colleagues and more)

Kinda planning to stick it out for a year or 2 and learn a foreign language and live abroad for a few years when I don't have any commitments yet.
