I recall reading something how some companies frowned upon FANG candidates because they were concerned the candidates were more trouble than what they were worth. Stuff like the toxic corporate mentality inherited from a FANG, and overestim

I feel your comment adds nothing of value. It would be interesting if you could contribute to the discussion if you had anything of value to contribute. Posting arrogant comments that boil down to a dubious homework assignment is just noise

Those "poor quality recruiters" only work with the data you give them. If you give them the same stuff everyone else is giving, what leads you to believe that they'll side with you? They naturally tend to go with those who he

Mass produce as many receivers you want and don't launch the ad-hoc satellite. How useful are the receivers?
