This is a rant question. But been at google for four years now. I've been through two teams and all the work feels like uninteresting busy work that no one actually cares about unless you backstab the whole org and shamelessly plug yourself every 10 minutes. I'm at the point where I want to move to Amazon just so I can have a fire under my ass and grow (single, no kids) but that seems like something I'd regret and this might be a problem with all big companies.
Would going to a startup help? Has anyone felt like this and done something about it? Or am I just a whining millennial?

But even after seeing my code in space many times and even having my name etched on a car flying in space, it also starts to all feel pointless after awhile. Eventually everything you do and everyone you know will be gone and forgotten so don't worry too much about the point of things and have fun.
What did you think working at a 100k+ person company would be?
That's why they pay you 😂. The vast majority of people don't have jobs that they're very passionate about. But we are lucky enough to get our work done and blow our money outside of work on things we actually give a fck about.
