anyway just saying, i found my first five years to be collegial. i would never ever do it again but i look back with fondness.
of course it only works if you are in an exciting startup or small company. i very very much doubt you are going to forge bonds if your first job is at FAANG and you did not attend shool here.
i cannot believe new grads would come here for the FAANG experience. that does indeed seem awful to me.
- pm90 8y agoThis comment kinda reveals just how little you know of how the rest of the country and the world looks at Silicon Valley. Google, MS etc. are seen as great jobs for many immigrants and (as I found in grad school in a rural area) small town kids. They compensate extremely well, which is enough of a carrot for many, many people, especially those from less economically privileged backgrounds.
