Do you also hate how FAANG transforms smart people into trash engineers?

Bhaiya/ Didi, please stfu. Keep your courses to you. If you really care about bringing revolution to edtech, then sell your courses for free. What you are doing is fooling the dumb gullible indian college kids. I don't want to see your randomass selfie explaining why your course is 10xbetter than the same other thousand courses. This breed is successfully ruining lakhs of students with the clickbaity crore rupee salary.

Hi I want to get job at offcampus Microsoft, I am cse-2024 passout unplaced. Tell me from scratch what all skills are required to crack Microsoft,what should all i have to do? (CP,DSA...etc? ) I am ready to work really super hard Please spare 2min time and comment it will help me a lot

I don't know if I'm right or not but I feel that software engineering in India is becoming more of "How to get into FAANG" rather than actually learning skills. Whenever I open LinkedIn all I see is "What I did to get into FAANG" "My life in FAANG" "But this course to get into FAANG" And the most fucked up scene is people are quitting there jobs at FAANG to create content to get into FAANG. I'm so sick of it now. Whom is to blame here?

The number of influencers trying to sell their courses on coding and systems design has just went nuts. Anyone and everyone who is working in FAANG / MAANG/ WTFAANG seems to be selling dreams to everyone that this is how you get into and sustain into large scale companies. Once these engineers join after clearing interviews (which are more or less a repeat of the same questions being asked for a thousand times), they find it hard to scale themselves to solve the real world challenges that are thrown at them. And then the complaining starts from all the angles. For the sake of it, FAANG and all other such top tier companies are not gonna help you once your mental peace if completely f…ed up. If you think you are genuinely interested in solving issues at scale, spend some real time learning the basics, how the day to day software you use works, spend some time actually researching and banging your head trying to grasp how things are, because most of the challenging issues you are gonna face in your upcoming career won’t have youtube videos available to explain you why they happen. Stop filling the pockets of influencers to teach you things which you should be putting efforts to learn by exploring yourself. Rant over

The money looks good because inflatable CTC, duh. There are tons of companies that will match(and exceed the pay) and won't make you jump through a million loops. Also, what is with the fact that they continue to ask the stupidest brain teasers that has nothing to do with what i am supposed to do. Let's admit it. Even if we got through the interview process, I have done no innovative work in my time here. Anyone willing to echo this?

Nishant Chahar…. Good kid but I won’t say anything special as striver ! Very very avg courses and once it got some traction, he is leaving. Not judging but this clickbait post it self has the answer Same course 10 bar banane se , entrepreneur nahi bolskte bhai. You’re doing bijness ! Period , accept it Just understand one thing folks , don’t fall for this kind f things. It works for very very few percentage of folks, you shouldn’t work hard to join FAANG. A good engineer will become better at any company, they don’t need FAANG !!

Had a call with my cousin this weekend. Life has been very hectic lately so, I have been laying low for a while now. Anyway, my cousin reached out and he brought up something very interesting. He mentioned how the quality of new engineering grads at FAANG has been trending downwards over the last three or so years. Technical competency aside, there is a weird behavioural shift wherein freshers have adopted job hopping every 2-3 years. He told me that there are zero engineers who stayed longer than 3 years at his org. I mean optimizing for pay is fine. The thing to really balance for is impact in the long run because at one point you would find it hard to scale beyond a Lead/EM role at an org. But the real thing is that the "FAANG" hype has started to die down amongst the 99th percentile of talent. I wonder how long will it take to have a trickle down effect to 80th percentile and so on. Just to validate, I asked a friend for his opinion and he opined that "Bhai, tum FAANG mei naaukar ho ya kisi startup mei, ho toh naukar hi." Translation: "You can work at FAANG, or at a startup but you are still a servant(employee)" Is the FAANG hype really dead?

I was interning at Microsoft and got the PPO as well. But I chose to join a remote startup and resigned from Microsoft, for various reasons including Pay, Learning, Product, Tech stack, etc. And everyone I talked with since then has asked the same thing, "bro why did you leave Microsoft?", "bro Microsoft is such a big brand", blah blah. When are we going to realize that working for a FAANG /MAANG /FAANGMULA /LODALASAN company is not the ultimate goal of everyone's life ?
