“Having hired over 500 engineers personally in my career, if your resume came across my list, I would definitely pass.”

Way to tell on yourself, dude. Even if you worked in this role for 50 years, that means you still go through 10 engineers a year(save for the amount that needed to be hired for company growth). Seems like way too much turnover for any company that is worth working for

Also: big, fat, fucking, ego-driven lie.

Quoting my response from elsewhere:

… FAANG. Hiring 500 engineers and bragging about it something you can do when you’re just interested in shareholder value not customer experience.

I wouldn’t hire the guy in the article because I haven’t seen strong candidates come from FAANG and I’ve been very happy to lose the people I did to FAANG because they weren’t good engineers, they just knew how to leetcode and tunnel vision trivia.

That could also be read as you’re not hiring the right people for the job, or your company is so shitty to work for that people leave ASAP. Maybe you don’t pay well and once people have a bit of experience for their resume, they leave for a decent raise. Or more benefits.

Regardless, if I hear someone say that I will definitely be suspicious and have more questions. It’s not the flex he thinks it is.

It’s not decided that was all at one company.
