Is this the death of FAANG dominance? (sic)

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.

I'm an ex-founder who has aced employee roles later. Most ex-founders I know are specifically looking NOT TO START UP ever again.

You say "aced employee roles later" in past tense. So I am guessing you are no longer an employee.

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.

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

I have noticed that the best people from my college got into FAANGMULA companies and ultimately trashed their mind while making great money. Their tech development has literally grown slower than living in a buddhist monastery. Their stu...

FAANG Engineers are creating an eco chamber

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 l...

Is FAANG overhyped by desi software engineers?

According to me, I can say that FAANG is definitely overhyped. Sure, these companies offer great salaries and some special perks, but they are not the be-all and end-all of a successful career in tech.

First off, the work-life balance...
