That's a weird assumption. I'm from the Bay. Worked at 2 FAANG and a major startup that went public.

No worries if you don't believe me.

I don’t doubt that you have worked for a FAANG (congratulations so have hundreds of thousands of others including me). I doubt they are reaching out to you for recruiting help.

> I have a hard time believing you are a recruiter for any FAANG company.

You just said you don't believe this person, now you are criticizing them for apparently being braggy about it (which they weren't).

They want to offer services for free and you are saying "No, no one wants that here.". Who are you to talk for others? If you don't like the free offer, just move on.

There was nothing bad about the original post.

No I never said he hadn’t worked for a FAANG. I’m saying that the idea that he is a recruiter for one is not believable. They don’t use outside recruiters for full time employee roles. They may for contractors.
