Re:Why I Studied Full-Time for 8 Months for a Google Interview by user5994461 on Friday December 16, 2016 @04:29PM (#13197038)
I too don't understand the appeal of working for big tech companies.

Until a recruiter from Facebook contacted me and sent me a list of teams at Facebook to pick the ones I'd be interested in.

Then I figured out there aren't many places in the world where I could do cache infrastructure "to handle over a billion requests per second" or storage datacenters to store "350+ million photos uploaded per day to Facebook -the largest photos site on the Internet-".

Next thing you know. I'm interviewing at yet-another-big-company. Damn, they got me with their marketing //(^-^)//
