I went against my gut feeling and took a job at a <1 yr company(new startup/spinout backed by $$$$ org) because i'd get exposure to certain tech. Manager was (& is) a nice person but didn't instill confidence when talking about how things were planning to be.

I left that job 2 years ago after ~8 months. Mentally fucked me up and it took a long time to recover from the ineptitude and incompetence in that company.

I looked at their glassdoor reviews and the same complaint and comments me & co-workers made when we left 2 years ago are still repeating with people who are joining and leaving today.

Never again going against my gut feeling.
