the experience you get from giant companies is usually worthless because you end up working on some extremely specific horseshit that doesnt exist without insanely bloated budgets and entrenched fiefdoms

Depends on the role. My first role was with a big company and I was in a position that had a huge amount of exposure to a large large chunk of the business, so every gently caress up was highly visible. Those first four years of my career taught me a lot about how to do and how not to do software engineering.
