Personal bias based on experience working with multiple former faang developers. Just a personality thing I guess. They’re chasing something. Cred, money, it’s different for everyone. Every one of them used their previous employers as a way to rationalize their decisions. Such as, “this is how Facebook does [thing]” … so it must be the right way for us. This is rarely correct.
And no, I’m not the only person hiring, but when 500k people are laid off (2024), that makes the application process very competitive. Even for people with “impressive” companies.
Then leave. Stop working for horrible companies. You are part of the problem but money speaks louder than morals.
There’s not many people working for Facebook who would have a hard time finding work elsewhere.
That’s not necessarily true. I’d never hire someone who worked for Facebook, unless it was in the beginning.
You not hiring someone from Facebook doesn’t mean they have a hard time fingding a job. But I’m curious, why?
