I don't know. My first job was in a cubicle and it was in the middle of a large floor. There wasn't any natural light and the cubicles spread in all directions for what felt like forever. Like, its nice to have your personal space but it sucks to have the hours blend together because you're in a liminal space where you can't tell if you're alive or dead.

I had a QA position at a game company and there weren't any windows on the open dev floor, only the break room and lobby. On top of that, they kept us testers in a freezing/sweaty separate room. Crunch dinners in that cramped hell were so fragrant.

It was interesting, but never again.

Oof, that's rough. Makes me appreciate the law here in germany that employees work stations in an office must be exposed to daylight. Cubicles like you described wouldn't be allowed here.

Then you get the other perfect combination. Window right above your screen, facing west without any blinds or curtains. And you spend half the day with the sun in your face.

I finally got a window and I kept that fucker clear all the time (had blinds, didn't use em). I wore a brimmed hat rather than cover up that beautiful sunshine.

I would wear a sombrero all day, just because.
