U wonder what kind if person thinks "you know what, today I will go in an make the world a little bit worse than it was before"...I simply cannot understand how people are willingly working at a place like Meta.
As a dev i can tell you the current job market is hell. If you like to feed you and your family meta is likely one of the better options currently. We are expected to do courses in our free time, watch the infrastructure on weekends while earning less than cashiers. Why i stay in this field? I already changed a field. I have two bachelors. Im tired.
i can speak from experience on this: merely having a faang company on your resume will always work to your benefit and these people are making a lot more money than any of us ever will -- there's no reason to pity these people and never believe that you and they are on the same playing field.
