Cracking up at the response to this thread. The comments here show how desperately tech workers need the validation of being in the Gifted Class and if you insinuate there's a culture of stupidity in FAANG they fall to pieces.

No comment on your predicament, best of luck and look for anybody smart and hustling around you that you can latch on to.

Honestly the reason why I’m so depressed/sometimes suicidal is because I’m part of a FANG that everyone considers to be stupid and poor. I wish people ever had given me any validation.

OPs fixation on IQ to denigrate their coworkers is pretty scummy though.

Lots of people are suicidal because of real world, intractable problems. Then if you say you are suicidal, they say you just have a mental health issue, not "a real problem."

It's one of the suckiest things humans currently do to each other on a regular basis in an "evil is prosaic" kind of way.
