“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

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.
