Man most Chicago jobs are not like that at all. It's a fucking fintech nightmare city. Companies will fire you for not putting in 70 hours a week, or expect you to come in before 7:30am before the market opens. I kept my head down in a devops position at a mortgage company and outlasted literally everyone in my team including a director and a manager (3 years and I was the most senior person on my team).

She mentions West Loop .. I use to live right next to it. There are some things I miss about Chicago sometimes ... but thankfully the feeling passes when I remember the rest.
