I totally get that but come on.. if you can get into FANG you literally don’t have any job security fears. Don’t mention edge cases that may affect a few people but for the vast majority? Please.. the most pampered group of workers in tech. I would understand if this was non tech, and I’m not familiar with outside of US, but this is a non issue.
IT workers at FAANG is the edge case tbf. I get that you bring it up because of the article, but even the the average FAANG employees can spend over a month interviewing.
I think they naturally replace fear of getting fired with fear of not getting a bigger stock grant every year, and end up in the same place via hedonic treadmill.
Btw speaking as a full time remote employee.
