In Europe specialist jobs are highly taxed. Knowing that every month you have to give away almost 40% of your earnings, how much you had to sacrifice, you start to question whether it all makes sense. Way out is to take anti depressants and pretend everything is fine or ask for a raise so that you get your net pay and what you have been paying in taxes and then try to ignore even more tax you have to pay.

I see that in start-ups. Their workforce must look "fresh" and "cool", "Instagram ready". This supposedly brings money apparently bored with life Angel investors love to burn. In those companies your product is a lifestyle for investors, what you are actually making is secondary. If someone is talented, it is a worst place to be in.
