Wonder if it's related to all the recent news about Google paying millions to keep engineers on staff from defecting to Facebook. I would be tempted to work there if there was a million dollar RSU payout involved.
I also wonder why Google would announce such a thing. My take away from this is that it's pointless to apply, since there are too many applications. Do they want people to stop applying?
- waterflow 16y agoI think they want more (better applicants) to apply. They came to my campus giving out free t-shirts not 2 months ago, and we're not a top-10 or anything.
- facecash 16y agoThose who got those counters were top contributers who had often been neglected by Google's compensational and promotional structure. Most Googlers are not good enough to work for Facebook. The vast, vast majority of these applicants have no shot of working for Google, much less of being then poached by Facebook.
