Honestly I’d be happy to work at any FAANG. Early FB in particular was great in terms of keeping up with friends.

I’ve only interviewed with Meta once and failed during a final interview. Aside from online dating and defense I don’t have any moral qualms regarding employment.

My dream in my younger days was to hit 500k tc and retire by 40. Too late now

By defense do you mean like weapons development, or do you mean the entire DoD-and-related contractor system, including like tiny SIBR chasing companies researching things like, uh

"Multi-Agent Debloating Environment to Increase Robustness in Applications"

https://www.sbir.gov/awards/211845

Which was totally not named in a backronym-gymnastics way of remembering the lead researcher's last vacation destination or hometown or anything, probably.

I'm trying to avoid anything primarily DoD related.

I guess I'd be ok with getting a job at Atlassian even if some DoD units use Jira.

I don't have anything against anyone who works on DOD projects, it's just not something I'm comfortable with
