  > FAANG companies have smarter people than average and these smart people mentor their new emoloyees. You clearly put FAANG on a higher pedestal than they should be... There's this thing called "politics" that exist almost everywhere. The mentoring that they get pertains to their job (e.g.: "Company-X" Python Code best practice, "Company-Y" Deployment checklists). They don't get mentored how to run your own startup, find product/market fit, etc. FAANG companies are "huge". They hire specialists: "developer" not "developer, marketing, biz-dev, QA, ops, rolled under one hat".
