Oh my god, yes. Went for working my “dream” job with 60-80 hour weeks at horrendously low pay, no appreciation, no time off, etc., just to say I worked for Company A. I ended up having a nervous breakdown, had to quit and move back home. I felt like a failure… until I found a job working at a small company I used to freelance for. Now, I have a boss who appreciates me and tells me every day, I get to affect change, do fun things for free, get a ton of time off, and I’ll have an amazing resume and experience when I move on eventually. This is the best advice I’ve seen on here.

Reply to LPT: Do not fall for the whole pursue "working for your dream company" idea. You will be so much better off if you have a wonderful, respectful, considerate boss at some normal business who actually values and respects you/your work, and allows you to become successful and proficient in your field. by Dismal_Body_2731
