I’m talking like reeally smart.. ideally these folk work in smaller firms that are extremely secretive or are top startups. I’m looking for a job switch. I moved from a top tech company (tier-1) to my current company and lost my motivation and passion as I got used to working with some of the brightest early in my career, which I miss now. For the companies itself - I’m not going to create a poll. Please comment your findings. Ideally, I wouldn’t prefer the usual HFT firms/hedge funds, they seem to hire the brightest for sure but finance is not my cup of joe at this point in my career. Some that come to my mind (but not 100% sure) - Databricks, Nuro, Quora, Stripe(?), Robinhood(?), Blinkist (Germany).. what else? Notable mid size ones imo are - Snap, AirBnb, Pinterest (interviewed here, didn’t pass, but looked like everyone at PINS are LC monkeys), Netflix (too many WITCH folk?) Thanks!
Not Robinhood for sure but you might get lucky in some bigger companies where there are teams with very smart people

By Smart, you mean the autistic and socially awkward, alone and suicidal type of people.. most people in hft I know are like that.. bald and erectile dysfunction at 30
You don’t sound like a guy that’s fun to work with
OP is about to delete this post
Military is the answer
OP i don’t have a name for you but its the same story everywhere. It happened to me 4 times already in my career, whichever company i join in after a year or so work env change drastically. I won’t push it back too much onto myself and would rather keep on hopping and keep my mood light.
