I'll be really honest. This would lead me to start looking at alternatives for all of my projects very quickly.
After years of watching Microsoft gobble up and assimilate companies, I'd rather jump ship before they start the extinguish portion of the cycle. Mojang is starting to leave the extend part with updates that are pushed out early for the "bedrock" version of minecraft.
I'm doing this right now. Hired on as a "programmer" I haven't written code in the entire time i've been in my current position. I'm doing the crap work, as are all of my coworkers who were also hired as "programmers" in the hopes that in a year or two they'll be able to jump into what they thought they were signing up for.
So now I have a decision, jump ship and hurt my "future" but find a place that gives me real work and get some experience or stick around in my "gamble" and maybe eventually get back to what I was doing as an INTERN in 2 or 3 years.
I'm jumping. not because I hate the company, but because I won't be anywhere further in my career or skillset in those 2 years.
Exactly why I'm leaving my company after ~3 years. There's absolutely no movement but lateral with a laughable pay raise, more responsibility in tasks that are unrelated to my skills and greater micromanaging.
While I've learned a lot here, most of the time I've been stagnating and it's depressing and infuriating.
I remember working with IIS at one point, and an object had a name like "site" then inside of the configuration files you had other "sites" that configured your site.
Finding errors for one was incredibly difficult because the other one kept popping up.
