Two Sigma (and others) have been poaching senior level google talent at a quicker and quicker clip. Very exciting to watch the exodus happen!

Have you found Googlers to be self-aggrandizing on average? That's not been my experience working there. (But might be different for "Googlers who talk a lot/are well-known publicly".)
From the outside peering in, the only Googlers are the ones who talk a lot or loudly leverage their ex-googler status on other projects.

Well but the ones who aren't loud and don't bring it up constantly, you wouldn't know that about them.

Am I the only one who finds that type of phrasing distasteful? I'm sure he didn't build any of those alone, and as a "leader" and a product person he probably didn't do much of the "building". Seems like he was mostly in an advisory role for Drupal, Docker and MongoDB, he didn't exactly build them.
W O W, really ?

Lots of finance firms have a bunch of interesting problems, from scaling to security and many are getting better at treating engineers well. But usually it comes down to the fact they pay really well.
