What guys working with big tech think of others?
I have faced lot of prejudice in Bay Area as they think I work for PayPal I am dumb.
So here are few experiences I have faced:
1) posting on blind and getting comments like you work for PayPal I doubt you are smart, there are no smart folks at paypal.
2) dating apps when you match with techie and when they know you work for PayPal their behavior changes. Big tech folks mostly discuss work on dates and brag.
One time(recently) I was on date with a person who works for google, they even asked me what is an array and started asking some LC questions 😅.
3) In get together/party if I mention PayPal they think I am poor Haha.
PS: I feel Bay Area is harsh for folks who works in mediocre company.
So let me ask you folks what’s the 1st thing that comes to your mind when you hear that this guys doesn’t work for any big tech.

If I ever end up switching to a more “prestigious” company, anyone that treats me any differently, any more special, will be people I won’t be hanging out with anymore. Separate the person from the career and money.
