You sound like you're speaking from experience, so I wanna ask: How genuinely true do you think this is? I'm always curious, about the FAANGs in general but Facebook in particular.
Divorced from as much cynicism as possible, what % of level I-III software employees are just there for their resumes?
- reducesuffering 6y agoFrom Amazon, and according to my extensive experience with the other FANG in Blind, I would very seriously say 90% are there simply for resume and money.
- QuixoticQuibit 6y agoI don’t feel like Blind is a good source. Selection bias at play. Especially with disgruntled employees or the ones who only care about optimizing earnings.
- thecupisblue 6y agoIn software? I'd say about 50-60 in S1 and going down to like 30-40 in S3, but a high percentage none the less. Outside of software, you will probably get to 70+%. It's not just a facebook problem, its a problem of a lot of large orgs with large salaries and "prestige" associated. People get in just to use it as a "platform" to launch their career, they bring their status and political games with them, read books such as "How to win fake political friends and push your influence to others" and then implement them. They lack real visions, ideas or venues of productivity, so they delegate and communicate and call meetings and push ideas and agendas that only serve to give them the "upper hand" when its promotion time. Just check out Facebooks internal network, where you gotta play nice and play politics or you will be look down on as "not having community spirit".
