Its frustrating when people trot out FAANGM as if thats a standard take just anyone can get.
Its great if you can get through the interview process at some place decent (I did for the record).
But that's like saying "I'll just go play for the NBA".
Competition is stiff
- cosmodisk 6y agoWell,yes,it is tough,but then again,if someone's pulling $400K in total comp writing code, that's not something that just lands from the sky. Outside of tech industry you'd need to be a VP, or even a CEO to clear that kind of money,so yes, it's expected to be tough.
- wh-uws 6y agoTotally agree with you but in the context of the comment I replied to the guy made it seem as if it's like why take this government pittance when I can just wave a magic wand and get a job and get a job at <insert your favorite top tier tech company> I was merely pointing out that it is muuuuuch more difficult than that comment made it seem.
- arkades 6y agoI mean... FAANGM for programmers is probably a fair comparison to being a SpecOps soldier, right? It's also a cream-of-the-crop type scenario.
