I’m at one of those companies and they’re just as greedy and cutthroat as anyone else. I really can’t imagine why you think that’s limited to fintech or startups.

Move out of finance or startups or wherever it is that’s so cutthroat and find a long established company that’s not in danger of going out of business on one bad quarter. The industry might not be as interesting but the work will be, and the pay might not be as high but the quality of life will improve!

Because everyone I know at companies like that has a pretty chill time most of the time. Clearly your millage has varied, but my point is that not every job is unpleasant, you just have to find somewhere relaxed, and that’s not an impossible feat.

Start ups tend to be the least cut throat since they’re flush with cash. They’ve got their own issues though.
It’s larger orgs where you get the status chasing middle management layer.
