If I were a kid right out of college, I’d honestly consider it. The key is truly knowing what you’re getting into. Companies gobble up those kids out of college because they’re naiive, and they want to prove themselves. MAANG knows that and take advantage of it. As long as you’re aware of that going into it, and plan to use them too, then go for it. Just don’t plan to be a lifer, know that they don’t care about you going in.
Get in with the full idea of being a parasite, doing the barest minimum work possible while getting friendly with higher ups. It’s not like doing a good job there would be better for the customers/end users anyway
Right? I realistically just need 150k/yr to be stable in my area, I could chuck the other 150k/yr into savings and quit after 3 years with 450k in the bank
If I rember right google had an AI driving division that had huge cash incentives based on performance metrics that essentially crashed and burned because they hit targets so fast that main time retired for life in like a year or two
That sounds interesting, seeing as I am ‘somewhat’ familiar with google’s self driving car program right now, and very little about it is crashing or burning.
I agree with work life balance, but working at meta for 2-3 years for $300k might be worth the sacrifice

MAANG sounds like a Superman’s villain
I thought that it became MANGA when it changed from FAANG?
deadname the pricks, you’re already doing it for google. it’s facebook
MAAAN would be a much better acronym though
ANAMA

That’s just, like, your opinion…
I was thinking MAANA
My soul is worth more than that, and I don’t even have one.

3 years can be a very long time, though.

Self-driving probably was not the one successful AI program
The hell? I live two years for 100k CHF. Lucerne, Switzerland, flat in the historic, more expensive part.
