- mgraczyk 5y agoMy salary may depend on ads, but that's not the point I was making. I was pointing out that my salary does not depend on my beliefs about ads. My evidence is that many with opposite beliefs receive the same salary.
- pydry 5y agoIt's difficult. It's not impossible.
- emteycz 5y agoHave you not been on the market lately? Any software engineer has nearly infinite opportunities, and the same is true for many other roles around IT. Dependence doesn't look like that.
- GiorgioG 5y agoYep I have been in the market, but there aren’t that many Google level opportunities out there.
- emteycz 5y agoYou think a person capable of getting into Google is not capable to get into any other FAANG company? I'd assume they're the ones persuading them to switch - why'd the FAANG companies look for candidates without that experience (e.g. on Linkedin) and reject someone with it?
