Have you ever noticed that the Google guy gets more likes than the Rally Health guy for having the same opinion on a subject matter? Do you see the Citadel guy getting asked constantly how he prepped for the interviews and what his TC is over the guy from "New"?
Itās been very illuminating to learn how many poor critical thinkers pass the FAANG bar. Itās like learning about Chelsea Clinton going to Stanford or Bush attending Yale: the veil of meritocracy is lifted and you can rest a little easier
For every bar there will always be dongers that pass. That being said you can expect that the higher the bar, the higher the median competency.
The competency and the critical thinking skills he's talking about are different I think. And the latter doesn't necessarily correlate with the former, as in the case of IQ vs untrained critical thinking ability.
When I first joined Blind a few years ago, people were very vicious towards those engineers who worked at lower tier companies. I worked at a company that didnāt have a great reputation, but still tried to write meaningful posts in some threads but people basically told me to shut the fuck up because I worked at āa shit tier companyā. Meanwhile some Google or Facebook engineers would say something similar to what I said but get lots of upvotes. This app is a lot more tame now though. Either the vicious trolls all left or offensive posts get flagged extremely quickly.
You are a person and you definitely matter. Don't let anyone get you down like that. We are all in our own journey. If you get a Google offer tomorrow it doesn't mean you are worth any more. Best of luck and stay safe at home.
I get that right now. Look at where I work.
All you know about a person commenting is where they work, thereās no other context. I think itās normal that, given the limited amount of information, people will value more the opinions of people working in companies they know and admire.
That is pure crap. You should value the infornation provided, that is all. That is what critical thinking is all about.
Thatās pure crap.
Whereās the option for āyes blind likes FAANG more and I do too but not secretlyā
You got me there but go ahead and answer as if secretly.
