I’m curious, what are the things you hate about the design industry. It could be anything

The lack of actual leadership in our industry

I’ve heard that mentioned a lot. I’ve seen ppl say leadership is bad because people are fast tracking to be managers and they’re clueless on how to actually manage

That's definitely a problem.. I've had different types of managers, including people who should've stayed ICs because they lack managerial skills. It ends up doing much more harm than good

I’ll never understand why ppl want to “move up” so fast without building the skill to do the job well. Ppl value titles that much

That and being promoted to manager because of tenure and not skills has been normalized.. And usually people in director/head positions are not at a company themselves long enough to see the consequences of their decisions
