These HM's here and there that hate Amazon engineers are just a rounding error compared the number of companies trying to specifically poach Amazon engineers. Despite the sense that Amazon is a lesser-FAANG or whatever to some (so annoying people even think like that - like the snobs who say "lesser Ivy").

“lesser-FAANG or whatever” I’m a tad amused that you’re not specifically opposed to the notion of FAANG, but find the notion of a lesser FAANG unpalatable. If you’re okay playing the elitism game, then it’s hard to sympathize with you when you’re the victim.

I mean they do think Amazon engineers are dumber though. If they didn’t I’d get interviews at Stripe and Pinterest etc

Sorry but... nicest way I can imagine to put this is that you're generalizing something that might be more of a local phenomenon.

I've never heard a Googler or FB'er think Amazonians are smart or talented, ever. They look down on people like me.
