Why can't Apple products just work like they used to? I feel like we've gone back 20 years and Apple is the new Microsoft releasing buggy updates too frequently for features that add no tangible value. I can now log in and use the machine - although it does seem to be running slower than previously. So I decided to boot from the start up disk in recovery mode and that seems to have worked.

I've been turned into a bag of nerves at the potential loss of data, bricking an expensive machine plus being without a computer for work.

You might be able to get away with just using internet recovery if you have enough drive space on your internal drive, but for some reason, it said I didn't have enough space. It was stuck on the loading screen, and wouldn't move past it even after several hours. I think it auto-updated to Big Sur and bricked my laptop. I had the same issue on my Late 2013 Macbook Pro 13 (A1502).
