You have a pretty naive look on the world.

  You have a pretty naive view of what a Stanford grad has available to him/her outside of grunt tech jobs. This Amazon job sucks by most measures. The next job that this candidate looks for will suck even more because this candidate will have to memorize and regurgitate the same crap again. This candidate is probably going to frustrate themselves to death. Tech industry is not at all great for engineers these days.

    > Tech industry is not at all great for engineers these days. Plenty of jobs outside the 'Tech' industry bringing stuff into other companies, it's not as 'glamorous' but it pays the bills and you get through the door a lot easier. I'm from the UK and consciously stay out of the local start up scene because I think the culture was/is toxic and have for a long time but there are solid and interesting programming jobs out in the wider world.

      Americans are particularly suckers to money. It's cultural. For a lot of folks here, life is about that rat race. Said companies capitalize on that. It's the same in India and China as well. Too much competition for fewer and fewer resources, chasing money is the norm...until suddenly they're in a hospital death bed, trying to get out of medical debt.
