- vote 🔥WOULD YOU RATHER TECH EDITION: Work for Elon's Twitter or Mark's FB?🔥 I think I would choose Elon's Twitter! He will fix that company and make it save democracy and free speech rather than destroy that. If you go in early on an Elon project then you know you will be very rich. On the other hand, Mark's Facebook is a sinking ship that is betting on ridiculous projects

- The truth about Facebook Facebook is unlike most companies. In most places you want to build something so you hire engineers to build it. At Facebook this is not the way hiring works. It is more like hunger games where lots of people are hired and then they compete against each other in a glorious game of PSC. In most tea
- Facebook is a dead company The bar is absolutely on the ground.

The amzn project is established and I know for a fact the wlb is fine due to a colleague on the team. Fb project is in startup mode therefore much higher risk. Finally, e

- The Danger of Impact driven culture at Facebook and/ or at FAANG companies is costly to employees' mental health! At first glance "impact" sounds like a noble thing. But if you look at Facebook 10-15 years ago, we were not so heavy on having people proving their impact because their role at the company already naturally created impact. If you have to prove the impact that you had each performance review cycle,
