Easier said than done. I found smarter people only in few teams in FAANGs, but never in other companies.

Unfortunately there are many other aspects that we need to balance out in life other than being in the right room.

My next line literally says "I know saying this is easier than doing it,"

>Unfortunately there are many other aspects that we need to balance out in life other than being in the right room.

So... yes. I agree?
