Agree. It seems it would buy you points at another FAANG but if I were interviewing an ex FAANG I would be concerned about mismatching perspectives and experience around scale and appropriate solutions. Then there’s the issue of “if you can get into a FAANG you must be really good”. Maybe. But not sure it would outweigh other concerns. |

This is an interesting one. If you're talking about software engineering, I hope you interview questions check for that.
Many people memorize by rote, "build x system, make it FAANG scale" and our industry rewards that. Many small and medium companies have delusions of grandeur that they need solutions Meta and Google do because obviously, they will be the next Google with enough time. Things get overengineered and pragmatic choices are discouraged.
Promotions become about building complex systems/services and the goalposts keep changing.
I hope your group is able to both hire for and promote the kind of culture you need for your domain.
