alt Hacker News>”There seems to be a weird selection bias that if you're FAANG or FAANG adjacent these small companies aren't interested.”
Many smaller companies have noticed that former and wannabe FAANGers are looking for FAANG-type jobs, and are not good fits in their niche. Small companies often have more uncertainty, fewer clear objectives, less structure, and often lower pay. They’re not a good substitute for megacorps.
And then there's people like me who have been at startups, midsize companies, tiny small businesses and FAANGs.
Not everyone at a FAANG is purely motivated by the amount of money that they can get.
I’m looking for a smaller company because I’m tired of the FAANG mentality personally.
