Other companies nickel and diming engineers think they are somehow getting something for free. All the highest performing companies in the world pay insane amounts to their programmers

>>ldjkfk+E4
Only when overfunded with VC money.

At that point, they are not hiring you, me or anyone who directly applies themselves via the job form.

They are hiring their friends from elite circles.

>>rvz+D6
The unfortunate reality is that those elite circles usually do have the best among them. And having worked in FAANGs, there is some aspect of meritocracy, the code doesnt lie

>>ldjkfk+O7
FAANG employees sure are full of themselves considering they've worked at companies that have failed to innovate for two decades. What was the last successful product that Google launched with all their highly paid engineers?

>>TechBr+t8
it's not a product, but that transformers paper that came out of there is proving to be pretty, er, transformative

>>fragme+xw1
Not for Google, though...
