Actually in today's tech driven world, this isn't hyperbole. There are more than enough opportunities for talented technologists to find opportunities outside of Facebook.

And most of those opportunities are just as bad, as the person you were replying to pointed out.

Not really. Facebook's disinformation capabilities are far worse than Apple's or Googles. Key differentiation example - Apple doesn't have an algorithm that bubbles up iMessages in the interface.

Even then, I'm not evening actually alluding to those companies - I'm talking about other tech start-ups, smaller companies, etc.

"other tech start-ups, smaller companies, etc." tend to pay significantly less than Facebook.

significantly less

I can't take your comments seriously anymore. This isn't true by any stretch of the definition of "significantly less". Please do some basic research: https://www.glassdoor.com/research/jobs-companies-2019/
