The people who survive in that culture, are they interesting, and do they go on to do anything interesting afterwards?

I have met or value relationships with plenty STEM BW alums, but they tend to speak about it as a funky place, seemed to color their views about buy side jobs and suggest that you know what you’re getting into with a job there.

Seems anecdotally that it’s used as a stepping stone into leadership or used to bank savings.

Several tech leaders I know are out of BW.

An SRE I knew there was at ~$600 TC and got a retention offer at ~$900 when they left to do a passion job.
