If I could get hired at Meta I’d be making $200k-$300k more than I do now.

You read that right. Not $200k total. $200k above what I currently make. Which is substantial.

So yeah. Money with a capital M.

There are other things, too. I’ve been to their HQ and it is packed with top-of-their-class young people all smart as hell. There is a definite energy to the place, and they have a certain reality distortion field that makes them believe they’re doing good work.

Plus Meta is a strong company to have on your resume. Everyone knows their hiring standards are high and with Meta on your resume, second and third tier companies will look at you like a god and pay you a lot for stupid work.

I don’t justify any of this. I’m just reporting the way it is.
