The same taint would apply after working at Google or Apple or even Barclays banks or MIT.
Who wants to go through a 3 interview process just to find out that great candidate simply won't sign until the offer is bumped at least 3x
- lordnacho 5y agoAnecdotal but a fair number of devs I know would be fine with those names, not FB. Facebook is both evil and trivial by reputation. You can do unimportant work that makes the world worse there, so why not compromise and work for some firm that's evil but important, or good but trivial? They'd use the interview for practice and free food. Having said that, I'm not sure you can really tell in the stats that FB needs to pay more for similar talent? Not sure how MIT comes into it though, isn't that a university?

Would you hire a paralegal coming from a prestiguous school to fill an average position ? Maybe, but for many it's not worth the time trying to catch a fish that won't fit on the boat.
