Related and slightly OT, but I didn't know that there were people actually making money off other people wanting to get into a FAANG company. Which, in retrospect, of course that it makes a lot of sense and I get it, from an economic pov, but I still find it kind of strange.
I had recently become quite bearish on these companies (especially Google and FB), this type of info only reinforces that opinion, you cannot truly innovate while you're employing people who see working there has an end in itself. Hope that monopoly-like thingie will continue to work for them (again, I'm thinking mainly about FB and Google), otherwise I see dark days ahead for these two companies.
- AlwaysRock 4y ago> but I didn't know that there were people actually making money off other people wanting to get into a FAANG company I've made xxk of side income every year over the last few years working for companies that help people land at faang companies. It's a huge business. If you're an average swe making 100K-150K and you could spend 6 months and xk-xxk to be making 200K+ for the rest of your career, its a pretty easy decision.
