Isn't the big tech employment trade-off for most people that you have relative stability and little is demanded of you, but in exchange, you have to deal with red tape and won't work on anything important, creatively fulfilling or otherwise rewarding?
I really don't think that many people are going to step it up significantly; fundamentally, the rewards aren't there and the work isn't that interesting. The incentives also attract the wrong sort of crowd
Edit: By 'wrong sort of crowd', I just mean people who won't slave away to make CEOs happy, which is a very good thing.
- VirusNewbie 4y agoAll of the people I know in big tech have a fair bit of stress, lots of responsibilities, high performance expectations and a ridiculously good stock comp package, so very much the opposite of the trade offs you imagine.
- drewcoo 4y agoMy experience was (and my friends' seems to be) that big tech means making less difference in the company but much more difference in the world. Very small cogs in very, very large wheels. Plus it pays better.
- gloryjulio 4y agoI think u probably misunderstand. Big tech has very high bar. You have to be insanely competent while taking lots of responsibilities. It's never easy On top of that they all have different degrees of stack ranking. You can never truly relax
