- bckr 5y agoMaybe those people would actually not succeed in Big Tech. There may be a certain amount of "plays the game" necessary to succeed in one of these roles. If your first thought is "well what I would do for these companies is better than what they would want me to do", then that's exactly my point point---They may actually care more about your ability to take orders than about your ability to solve problems independently (even if they say the exact opposite in their culture talking points). Is that optimal for the company over 100 years? I don't know. Is it even possible to know? Just speculation.
