There is not a finite number of jobs. All the FANGs would gladly hire many more top tier engineers if they could find one.

- toast0 5y agoWhen I worked at Yahoo and Facebook, my departments certainly had an assigned headcount. We wouldn't interview if we didn't have an open req. Sure, if we had one open slot and two qualified candidates, we'd go and fight to hire both, but we couldn't hire infinite people. And if we had an open req for too long, it would be eliminated. I'm not sure if Facebook has had to do any belt tightening hiring 'freezes' yet, but I think there was wind of one coming at some point while I was there (I don't think it actually happened though), and I'm pretty sure most of the FANGs have gone through that at some point.
