Are FAANG engineers not required anymore? Apparently the shit behaviour is hard to put up with.
Am yet to meet an ex founder who is willing to grind to win as an employee. Every ex founder I know is working today to earn some money and get back as a founder in his new venture. As a rule I never hire ex founders. I prefer people with lower middle class back ground. Who are desperately hoping to secure a minimal future. These are your hard workers. Reward them well, they will fight to the end. Not your foreign returns, not your failed founders.
FAANG engineers are great hires for post-seed or post-series A startups. They have the skillsets to solve difficult scaling problems but are usually too slow to work with at early-stage startups.
I've seen regular non-FAANG engineers run circles around FAANG engineers at early-stage startups because they've got the mindset to make stuff happen.
FAANG IS still the no one preference for any startups. Investors would shower money if the team has Ex faangs.

Whenever I open LinkedIn all I see is "What I did to get into FAANG" "My l...
