Anecdote which doesn't prove anything but I have a colleague who left JS to work in FAANG after 6 months because working there was just too boring in his opinion (despite a higher salary).

Also, it's apparently significantly harder to land a position at JS than at a Google/Meta.

Actually, I applied there a while ago, the interviewer was actually pretty unpleasant, which hasn't happened to me at big tech. Didn't leave a really good impression.

Yeah I sent an application on a whim because I've spent a lot of time in FP land professionally and otherwise, I figured "what the heck, maybe they'll see value in that," and I was surprised to actually get a response but it was dismissive and borderline insulting..."there's nothing relevant here" talking about my resume is the thing I remember the most.

It was probably the first and only time I would have rather have been ghosted lol
