Life isn't wholly not about money either. Money is a tool that enables a lot of things. I don't think Meta is uniquely taking advantage of job market dynamics

Life isn't wholly not about money either. Money is a tool that enables a lot of things.
I don't think Meta is uniquely taking advantage of job market dynamics; I think if anything, it's one of the most generous employers around. You could disagree, I guess. I've certainly worked other places that paid a lot less and were no less stressful.

They weren't the worst, but they seem to have felt Meta was the most cut heavy at the turn of the decade. Which was interesting to hear. But sure, it was generally considered higher total comp than Google or Microsoft. If minmaxing money is all you care about, Meta is the way to go. Or was. >Life isn't wholly not about money either. Money is a tool that enables a lot of things. Yeah, hence work-life "balance". what are you working for if you spend all your days focused on money and not on life?
- loeg 2y agoWe seem to be talking past each other, sorry.
- johnnyanmac 2y agoI guess so. I'm just saying that overwork isn't okay just because you're paid well. And "well it could be worse in non-tech" jobs isn't too reassuring.
