"Augmented" in a sense that it is fabricated to look grander than the actual reality.

The only "reality" it is based off on is whatever work email adresses these anonymous rando's happen to have access to.

Some random guy at Robinhood asserts to be a multi-millionnaire (due to his alleged luck/wisdom/whatever) and wonders why not everyone wouldnt work for startups just like him, when he could just be an entry-level engineer getting upset about the HOOD stock crash and growing ever more resentful about his rejections from FAANG's.

Some random guy at Google asserts to be an L7 eng with NW higher than 10M. In the unlikely event that this happens to be true, I wonder why this highly successful, smart and rich guy is spending Saturday night prompting random people to "Ask Me Anything" about Google as if it gave him a great deal of empowerment and prestige. L7's at Google, or anyone with over 10M NW, have much better sources of empowerment and prestige than answering questions on Blind, you know? He could in fact be some random intern at the marketing department or some contractor cooking delicious lunch for us at the cafeteria, who knows they all have @google emails. He could at best be an L3 engineer still in euphoria from getting that Google offer.

For the sake of self-respect and dignity, why don't we stop worshipping these guys and treat them with the level of skepticism they deserve? Afterall, reasonably high NW individuals (say, even over 2M) got much better things to do than discussing TC's on Blind.

TC: did u even read my post? Lol lets say 3M.

    Or just be humble and accept that there potentially are great people out there willing to help, and take their advice with a grain of salt? Fwiw 10MM net worth isn’t all that much, many mid aged Asians (in Asia) who caught the real estate train are worth >10MM including my parents and many other relatives. Not much to learn from them tho mostly timing and luck, that’s why I’m slaving away in another country.

      Small correction: I am not offended by how supposedly "rich" you are and how yoire not afraid to show that. I am offended that you are lying and underestimate my intelligence by expecting me to believe you. Also, I dont discriminate people by where they come from or whatever "tier" company they work for. But as you can see from my original post, it makes my head spin when people lie even on the internet and brag about their TC/NW dicks from the metaverse. I think that degrades all of us into gullible nerds.

      Yeah, I agree with you. It is just that sometimes the things ppl post (esp. from Google) really make me cringe and loathe the kinds of ppl I might be working with in this industry.

    You’re thinking about Google L9 with 40MM+ net worth, he isn’t fake, pretty well know within Google channel and actually writes pretty useful stuff occasionally.

    In the end, Blind has good parts and bad parts, it’s upto you how you perceive it.

      No, I meant a differenr person. I guess it is possible that such a person has a presence on Blind, but that person really isnt that anonymous at that point.
