15 years ago, everyone wanted to join Google and Facebook as they were the next cool thing. However, FAANG companies have hired everyone and their mom over the past decade that it's not considered "wow" or anything to work there anymore. Where did the smartest/most ambitious people you know go? Still Google/FB? Research divisions there like Brain or FAIR (or MSR)? Pre-IPO? Academia? Edit: vote "Other" for HFT or other post-IPO companies.
Crypto
LMAO
Do you mean building new cryptocurrencies or working somewhere like Coinbase?
Apple
Apple to me stands out for hiring the worst performing people I have worked with over the years. Maybe their consumer division is different but their data center / server infra side is weak.
Says the guy/gal at Experian! Lmfao
This is the worst poll in the history of polls
What would you have liked me to add instead?
Hft worth an add
Best talent has already FIREddd
I’m firing at salesforce right now I use the salary to fire more

Google is for rest/vest, not for ambition
This
That's why I want to get an offer there...
Databricks. And agreed, FAANG companies especially Amazon have hired like there's no tomorrow.
What’s life really like at databricks?
What do you mean? They hired too many?
Covid got the talent this year. RIP Talent 🙏🏻
Best talents don't work for others. They work for themselves.
Dame Dash approves

They are pre-IPO as well. But if I can ask, why do you think so?
They have the young eyeballs
Apple
Hmm, curious what's special about Apple in terms of engineering/work culture/growth? Is is good for a particular subfield like hardware or ML?
What’s special about Apple?!
