That’s all nice in theory, but new college grads want to make as much as possible. They don’t do that by “arguing that gravity shouldn’t exist”. They do that by playing by the rules as they exist.
That means “grinding leetcode and working for a FAANG” (c) r/cscareerquestions.
I am 25+ years in the industry. But if any new college grad asks me for my advice. That’s what I tell them.
I definitely wouldn’t tell them to take a chance of working for any non public company hoping their “equity” may be worth something because they heard that early engineers at Uber struck it rich.
