heh. I was approached by a FB recruiter last week after taking some time off and having 20 years hopping off and on a couple FAANG + .gov and .aero to round things off. The morality issues of Social I don't believe is any more fucked up than working other FAANGS that we all love to be haters upon because at the end of the day, we're all prostitutes - straight up selling ourselves for money. If we weren't, then why would be working for anyone or trading skill/our time and labor to someone else for a negotiated amount. One of which we can never purchase directly again and sadly is way disvalued in general. But that said, if you've never worked at a Fortune 500, then you should regardless. It lends street creds that you've dealt with the corporate politics and endured the stack ranked rat race and how well you did with it. My own questions about FB tho, that's another story. Since I'm SRE, i'm wondering: would I make a difference anymore than I have already? It's one things to say you keep the internet turned on at scale. It's completely different having done it for two(+) decades and know their place in the org chart relative to VP/SVP of your corporate division and theirs within companies with 30-100k+ people. For those that have worked at FB, we hear the stories and we all know the problems we generate for our neighbors from gentrification as well as our peers just in enacting the will of our management chains, making "the right thing" harder to evangelize without risk or fear. So why should anyone that's not a intern/college grad/entry level person work there that's not hooked on something special? As everyone has said, it's just a website run on commodity gear... just at scale. Why pay the fucks to work there if you've already done annual doxing and close knife work necessary to not be at the bottom of the bell curve for the stack rank? Nobody is safe anymore unless you've made connections in college and elsewhere. An average IT career is 2 years so why do it beyond whoring and resume building?
