Neither… tech worker prestige gone in the gutter when google started laying off workers like lice
Yup
How much social prestige does it take to pay my mortgage?
I think it depends on your friend group(s).
You get past "social prestige" within a few months. Do what's best for you, your family and what you hope to optimize your career for. Don't worry about how your employer looks to other people that most likely don't even really care or think about you
With tech layoffs going on and on, I don’t think any person outside of tech sees them favorably.
SpaceX sounds much cooler than Apple, there are so many Apple bros
SpaceX hands down. So many exciting new technologies to get in on and impact. Space is the new frontier. Apple will always be there to work on another iPhone.
I don't even tell people outside the office I work for SpaceX. I used to, and 1 time out of a hundred I'd get asked about what I do, the other 99 times it's about Elon and one of his other companies or personal life. I don't really have any interest in that so it's annoying. Since I don't tell people where I work I'd say that's zero social value.
Lmao how is this even a question
Who cares about social prestige
Must be your first day on Blind
Microsoft has plenty of social prestige, but we get paid 🥜. So you do you. But at the end of the day, wlb and cash are the only things that matter.
