This is a fun one to do actually. 2016 already..Even I with my 2017 start would call you an OG then. It is remarkable how discord learned me so much and had so much to offer and people to meet in groups.
I dont know now if the vibe is different or I am just giving it less time. 'Corporate life' this sounds like suits, heels and pushing each other to the limits of thin air..or is this too black/white?
I enjoyed working for a .com startup for 15 years, we were acquired 5 times, and kept growing it was a great ride, but left me exhausted at the end.
