1. Cultivates self-discipline and trains your patience

2. After leaving, you’ll appreciate how beautiful the world is and how long the evenings after work can be

1. Overtime is the norm. Working until the end of time is considered expected, and you won’t receive overtime pay. Leaving work on time may attract sarcastic remarks, or you may be assigned even more work afterward so that you can’t leave on time.

2. There is constant scolding every day. The boss is emotionally volatile; if you don’t cater to the boss, you’ll be disliked, while catering to the boss will turn you into a puppet and make you lose your ability to think and make judgments.

3. The PM role here is very different from what people generally understand a PM should do. The strongest skills are forwarding emails and turning around to berate assistants. The role involves none of the abilities it should require: unreasonable requests aren’t blocked, and you shouldn’t expect to have any strong teammates. If you aren’t driven to the brink and reduced to an overtime hell, you should thank your lucky stars.

4. Every project is in its honeymoon phase when you first take it on, but it often ends badly. Crisis management is extremely poor, and every mistake is blamed on the client.

5. Here, you may suffer physically, emotionally, or both.
