But they can always point to their resume, which lists a prestigious faang company.
I worked for a well-known tech company for a couple years, with a grueling interview process. I regularly get cold called by recruiters asking me about "my time at X".
So it's a good thing, from a career perspective. Whether it's a worthwhile thing of itself is a personal choice.
- mywittyname 6y agoDoes this ever get old? From what I've seen, former FAANG hires get paraded around like some exotic pet at some smaller companies. It's kind of cringy as an onlooker. I once worked at a place with executives who had "hire 3 people from google" as a KPI.
- dilandau 6y agoIt's cringey as hell, but from a "making my career" perspective, it's clearly valuable to many in charge of hiring.
