What a strange thing to say. You’re describing the elite pedigreed type with this, but then allude to the types of people that PIPed. I really don’t think elite pedigreed types get PIPed outside of rare situations.
- babyent 1y agoI have a lot of friends who went to elite schools (top 5-10 in the world) for CS and some of them have gotten PIP’d or laid off. It’s not that hard to do well academically. Especially for kumon types. There’s builder types (rare af) and there’s worker types (plenty aka literally everyone else). And getting into tech isn’t hard. A principal staff or something like that? Impressive. Senior or staff is not that impressive anymore. Personally I prefer to work with people way, way smarter than me. I’ve worked with ex-FANG people and they’re robots. They came in after IPO and made me quit lol.
