It’s because they get a lot of money. It’s that simple. I don’t know if people know how much facebookers make because if they did they’d start to riot.

Can we cut the pretense and just admit it’s about the fact that you’re showered with money and the high prestige? No judgement, I’d do it if I was an elite too.

You’re at Google now right? You people think anybody not at Google is an idiot. The reality is Amazon is extremely competently run given its size. The pace of innovation is astonis…

Yet again, the tech elites get lionization for doing barely anything and would get them fired at a "real" company. How long do normal people have to listen to these folks as if the…

I'm a new grad and I'm interested in which companies are still considered prestigious in the eyes of engineers (over recruiters, general public, etc). Are Unicorns like Uber and Pa…

I don’t live in the Valley, I just have a lot of accomplished friends/acquaintances

What other companies do your acquaintances working in tech consider “prestigious”?

What do you think of Microsoft, Amazon, and Apple? Are they worthy of your talents as well?

Total compensation obviously because FB stock is liquid. New grad salary is in the $110-115k range at FB. I know a few companies that do pay it or more base (2Sigma, Snowflake Comp…

I agree 100%. Working at Facebook (or making that much money) is my dream, one that seems to be slipping away.

Anecdotally most of my friends didn't even apply to internships/FT at Uber after their reputation got tarnished. Uber used to be my dream company, but after Fowler and their new gr…

>Is it possible that someone smarter than you doesn’t want to work at Facebook? It's definitely possible, but they'd probably be working at another top tech company or finance comp…

Few comments on this because I think about this quite a bit. 1) I always read these articles and sigh. Seems like they only focus on 2 elite tech companies at the expense of all th…
