Just love Justin's "no BS" style. When I see folks straight out of college try to get hired at FANG (or even worse, tier 2/3 companies), I feel sorry for them.

Just love Justin's "no BS" style. When I see folks straight out of college try to get hired at FANG (or even worse, tier 2/3 companies), I feel sorry for them. They would have little clue about getting in to daily grind that sucks their soul away little by little for some whims of incompetent higher ups. At starups, you would get in to even more grind but it's just of different kind and everything you learn and experience would be 2X-10X faster. If you are straight out of college and try to join a company with > 1000 people, you are not doing yourself a favor. On the other hand, if you have kids, mortgage and car payments then FANG is your best friend.
