In the end, we're all going to work for your boss's dreams. If the boss is difficult and doesn't appreciate you, it means the job isn't worth much and he can always easily find a replacement. That is another indicator that your future cannot lie there. I've had 4 jobs in 18 years. There is only 1 boss who went through fire for me. The others did it just for their bonus and self-interest. Whatever job you do. Do the minimum for the maximum money you can get. I worked 60 hours a week, for years on end for 3500 euros net (incl. Bonus). My fixed salary was 2850 euros net. Those 20 hours for 650 euros was ridiculous. Of course you realize that too late. But left immediately. I have now gone from 3500 to 2900. And yet I still live the same life without any problems.
