If you’re currently in the job market I highly recommend this post by Will Larson:

If you pull all those things together, you’re essentially in a market where profit and pace are fixed, and you have to figure out how you personally want to optimize between people, prestige and learning. Whereas a few years ago, I think these variables were much more decoupled, that is not what I hear from folks today, even if their jobs were quite cozy a few years ago.

It’s a sobering—and imo necessary—read, even for folks who are not currently look for a new job.
