So it wasn't just "being happy" but also the balance of how happy vs how miserable and what the other benefits were.
I see your point.
I get that for sure. My wife worked somewhere for a couple years after college and she hated it, it wasn't what she wanted to do in life and it was stressful. She dreaded going to work every day and eventually she got fired. She thought it was the end of the world, but she ended up closer to home doing what she wanted to do making better money. She just hadn't found the right situation for her, but now she is on a good upward trajectory doing what she wants and enjoys her company.
With that said her first company was a very large company, while I work for a smaller company. I have found that for me, I will probably always work for small companies as I find the structure and situation is much more suited to how I like to work. I think that has a lot to do with how our "first job out of college" experiences turned out differently.
