Definitely just a thought exercise. In no universe would a hiring manager ever ask this.
"Why did you sacrifice other things in your life to work at a large tech company, operating at scale, for a high salary?"
Edit: Absolutely laughable that you think this will be detrimental to people's careers. Your other comments on this topic are frankly unhinged. If you are indeed a hiring manager planning on factoring this in to your criteria, please know this will be a massive red flag to productive engineers.
- dccoolgai 4y agoIt's detrimental to all of our careers that this is the example being set for "how engineers should be treated". I'm not your enemy here: if you get hurt and taken for a ride, that effects me because we're in the same market. Knocking the bottom out of the market is bad for all of us. I wish you wouldn't throw yourself into the grinder and help it along, but I hope things work out for you either way.
- chitowneats 4y agoYou're not my enemy, sure. But I'm not interested in working with coddled and entitled individuals who are half checked out, self-important, have a warped perspective on life and humanity, etc. I end up having to pick up the slack. No thanks. Musk absolutely smashed that culture at Twitter. It will be rough seas for a while but the company will emerge stronger. Maybe even profitable!
