I always call it the "lottery problem" instead of the "bus problem" because it's more positive. Also for some people, getting hired at a FAANG is like winning the lottery so it jives with OP's article.
- hobofan 6y agoThe problem with either of those is that the chances of either of those things happening are incredibly low, so the urgency to act on it isn't there. If someone would tell you that you have to prepare to the one in a few million chance of winning in the lottery, you would likely also ignore it. An employee getting hired by another company (doesn't need to be FAANG) is on the contrary a rather common occurrence, and a lot of people understand the importance of preparing for that.
