- mellosouls 4y agoYou may be assuming FAANG are recruited on quality rather than background and networks.

For instance it's clear Mark Zuckerberg does not want to hear from any independent thinker in 2022 if ever. People mistakenly look to the badly named FAANG for best practices for software development and management but if you think critically the truth is the opposite, actually they should be lumped together with Boeing, Epic, Cerner, Adobe, Microsoft, etc. These are highly profitable because of monopoly concentration and can afford to hire a huge number of excessively paid developers and waste their time with Byzantine practices, assign them to work on dead-end projects, etc. Quality of their products is beside the point because people are going to use them no matter how bad they are. You can imagine for yourself what will happen to a person who works in that kind of environment, but I think getting a person like that to contribute to a normal business is like getting a pig to fly.
