I checked out about halfway through my run at my current job. I think after the third time I suggested a tool or process change and the reply from the lead was &quot;we&#x27;ve never done it that way&quot; at a startup it dawned on me that this company will never accomplish anything technically interesting.<p>Incidentally, there&#x27;s a bonus coming up for a major milestone and I&#x27;m seriously considering handing in my two weeks notice after the direct deposit clears. The CEO tried to sell the whole equity angle, but I honestly don&#x27;t see any resume improvement potential here and that&#x27;s all I really care about.<p>I&#x27;ve worked at companies that gave a shit and I just don&#x27;t think this is one of them.
