I work at the FAANG considered the “dumbest” - do you think people like me have any hope for the future?

There is no linear ordering on workers! You might be dumb at algorithms but great at stakeholder management and average at coding. Takes all sorts of strengths to make a good team.

You should feel hopeless, you're doomed to having a steady career where you are paid well.

Any thread with FAANG in the title always brings out the weirdest insecurities. Maybe it's because emotionally stable people don't optimize their life and identity around which megacorp buys their time from them.
