If you don't like working at a tech company, please take your backpack and go work for Wells Fargo or any of the thousands of soul destroying shitty companies out there making up the black sludge of corporate America. There's no fast promotion path. Nobody wants your ideas. The hierarchy of power is based on fear and subordination, seniority and time served in the Gulag, not on talent or imagination. You can do everything perfectly for a year and slip up on one thing, and that's all you'll hear about in your performance review. Go ahead, Try it.
