Tight IT band is an indication of bad form.
Not necessarily. It also tends to go along with tight hamstring which everyone who sits 10h a day is going to have without a lot of work.

I learned this from finance: Don't join a team that's mediocre and/or where you're the only one with your skills. When it comes time to evaluate your performance or assess how long something should take, your manager and your team will be clueless. Useless people survive by playing politics. And when you quit they'll play games you can't win.
>> And when you quit they'll play games you can't win Can you elaborate on this? Things to avoid when quitting such a position?
Between those 3, there's a lot of ways they'll try and coerce you into staying without paying you market rates if your bus factor is high enough. It's so bad that I've known people who have hired lawyers to help them quit one firm and join another.
Worse is better Or, to put it a bit more optimistically - usable now is better than perfect later. I've found that, if I disappear behind a curtain and spend a long time trying to make something really well-polished and feature rich, that just gives the user a lot of time to build up their expectations, and also to get frustrated by the delay. By the time you ship, they'll be actively looking for ways to find fault.…

True, tight hamstrings are a contributing factor, but not the sole reason for IT band issues. If rolling out your IT band is a painful experience, it's an indication that you're improperly loading your legs when running—it's a form issue.
Running is one of those sports that people tend to think the 1 thing that worked for them is the answer for everyone. It's not that simple. People have hips with different shapes. People have legs of different lengths. People have ankle damage from previous sprains. Good form helps for sure, but if you want to claim that all running issues are related to form - I have a bridge to sell you.
A company is a company, not a family. It's about making money, not about relationships. For better or worse, it's never really personal.
