Most employees will not accept this and would rather go work somewhere full time, and can find such work since the FAANGs shouldn’t be too harshly impacted.

- tmpz22 7y agoRight but you'd be utterly naive to expect companies which are still hiring to hire on the same generous terms of one year ago. I fully expect compensation, perks, and the "hiring bar", to begin to strongly favor the hiring companies who now get an even better pick of the litter.
- barbecue_sauce 7y agoI think you're being a little overly optimistic. FAANGs will have pick of the litter, they're not just going to absorb all refugees from travel tech.
- freepor 7y agoRight, but I feel like almost any Airbnb engineer can get more than 25% of their salary somewhere.
- barbecue_sauce 7y agoBut why do you feel that way?
- freepor 7y agoBecause software engineering is valuable even in a recession, and someone will be willing to pay someone more to work than Airbnb will pay them to not work.
- esturk 7y agoYou are right that most won't be happy, but any hiring will only occur after the pandemic is over because there's not enough personnel to do interviews right now. As for what happens after the pandemic, things might be back to normal.
