I don’t know about other locations, but in Seattle the googlers and SpaceX people walk around with a lot of swagger. And you don’t have to talk to them long until workplaces get brought up and a small jab at Amazon or Microsoft is made. Which idk maybe is fair if they used to work at Amazon/Microsoft. But still I wish we weren’t so intent on maintaining a hierarchy. Maybe we just all need to develop more of a life outside of work.

Maybe you just don't notice the googlers who don't go around with a lot of swagger?

Good point, I’m only noticing the people wearing workplace swag/bringing up their workplace. I don’t notice people who don’t bring it up.

The counter-case would be, "Do you also notice people from other companies who walk around with swagger?"

Not living in that area anymore, I can't say. I haven't lived there for 10 years.

its worth noting the size differences of the various companies in terms of employee count. Part of this is simple statistics.

This sounds so tiring. I don't care who you work for, tell me what you're working on and I may be impressed.
