I should add: That also isn’t doing something sketchy for their business model because.. that can also be hard to fit tbh

Companies willing to give design a chance are scarce, especially in my part of the world. I choose my current org because they wanted to set up an in-house Service Design team to work on problems outside the interface and I wanted to see how that will work out.

In tech everything comes and goes, so something that's at least fun, exciting, with decent people and good pay.

If I could guarantee you a full onsite interview loop with any 2-3 startups, which would you pick and why?

No specific company, but any residential real estate startup that is working towards giving buyers / sellers more autonomy in transactions would be a blast to work for. The industry is about 40 years overdue for a shakeup, the problem spaces are vast and ripe for opps

Whoever allows for remote work, pays well and has at least one other designer.. That already is a tall order for a startup lol

plus the people were great and the problem space (agriculture) was an unknown to me.
