Maybe Amazon is more confident that they can get good work out of a broader range of people.

Yeah I would say that Amazon has a ton of basic work that needs to be done. The website is so big and complicated and multi-faceted compared to some of the other big tech companies. Sometimes you really just need to hire a developer/team to ensure that the underwear size-picker is working correctly. Of course Amazon also has lots of insane CS-heavy infrastructure and algorithm work as well.

That is a fairly uncharitable reading of that post, which mentioned nothing of the (perceived) abilities or skills of the engineers.

Your account name leads me to believe you've been impacted by this, and I feel for you. I am sorry. I hope you're able to find a new gig relatively stress free and find yourself in a better place.

Yea I suspect many of us know people who're terrible at LEET code problems who're great engineers. And vice versa.

I hope Parent gets the help they need. I am thankful I cannot imagine a world where... Google's "elite" engineers impacted my world in such a drastic manner.

Good luck to you friend.

Can't tell if this is sarcasm or not. I really hope you're doing ok and seek appropriate mental health support. Don't fret over the ranking of companies - we're all dead and forgotten in a few generations anyways. This is true for every Google and Netflix engineer in existence.

Internet forums are not good places to visit when you're in a stressful situation. The fact is, the parent post neither said nor implied the thoughts that you've attributed to them.

You need to make a plan to find your next position, instead of looking for things on the internet to get offended by.
