I wouldn’t expect a job at Netflix or Apple to be much more exciting than most other jobs. I thought they were attractive workplaces because of pay, perks, and because it looks good on your CV.

- ShroudedNight 5y agoThe pay and the perks can definitely make it more pleasant, but the thing that stands out is all those companies are operating at global scale. Working there, you will likely be routinely confronted with the awe-inducing scale and impact your work has on the daily life of almost everybody. In my case, for the people I already knew and cared for, I felt a sense of stewardship, and for new acquaintances, because they had already interacted with my work, they already provided me with a baseline of appreciation / professional credibility.
