"Having hired over 500 engineers personally in my career, if your resume came across my list, I would definitely pass."

Heh. A job seeker with three FANG companies on their resume does not give a shit if this random person would bin their resume.

Also, I'm trying to imagine a scenario where having needed to hire 500 people, personally, in a single career isn't embarrassing.

Edit: "You think you suck at retention? Let me tell you how my year went!"

Your second paragraph tells you who you’re trying to find in your third paragraph: FAANG. Hiring 500 engineers and bragging about it something you can do when you’re just interested in shareholder value not customer experience.

I wouldn’t hire the guy in the article because I haven’t seen strong candidates come from FAANG and I’ve been very happy to lose the people I did to FAANG because they weren’t good engineers, they just knew how to leetcode and tunnel vision trivia.

Hasn't it changed from FAANG to MAANA?

Took me a while to figure this one out - FAANG to MAANA: Facebook --> Meta Apple Amazon Netflix Google --> Alphabet
