When were you hired to the FAANG? There used to be a culture of hiring hackers like you without a second thought, but sadly nowadays my cynical assumption is that most FAANG companies would be too corporate and buttoned-up to even consider it, at least not without needing to cut through some red tape about degree requirements and background checks.
- locusofself 3y agoI resisted joining a big company for most of my career, which in hindsight I now somewhat regret (I thought I would be worked too hard, turns out working at startups and no-name companies is just as bad and typically pays less unless you are lucky). 3 years ago is a the real answer, far into my career (I'm 39). Pretty sure every single person I work closely with has a BA or Masters in computer science. I just have a lot of experience.
