My TLDR reading this:

- everyone working in big tech is so so lucky. millions of people would do anything for these jobs.

- contrary to what the narrative is set, the kitchen is dirty, shit is on fire, and barring a few no one has a clue.

- recruiters perpetuate the candidate bias manifold. “Get me a dropbox PM” or “Get me a a google ML person” sheer laziness as talent is all around.
