> Wherever these tens of thousands of qualified ex-Meta, ex-Microsoft engineers willing to work less are, I'm not seeing them. Two possible reasons: 1. People who are truly in-demand still have an easy time of finding jobs without going through the tedious process you set up. 2. FAANGMANGAMEME never hired that many truly exceptional people in the first place and you've fallen for corporate propaganda. |

in my experience, FAANGMANGAMEME hires good people but they get placed on a weird career trajectory.
they learn how to work experience in enormous well funded company that has spent a fortune building fancy in-house tools for their dev experience, spend their time thinking about scaling problems that no other company will likely ever face, and all covered in ten layers of bureaucracy and "process".
if you hire a faang employee into your startup or normal mid-sized business, there needs to be a bit of a detox period where they have to learn what software dev is like for the rest of us mere mortals.
