Ask HN: Where do the smartest people you know work?

I was cruising LinkedIn this afternoon trying to find the name of someone I interviewed about a decade ago. Of course, he's moved across the country and now works at Microsoft.

Which put a thought into my head: A lot of smart people I know work at startups, but all of the smartest people I know work at FAANG/MAMAA. In fact, none of the smartest people I know, to my knowledge, have ever pursued a startup.

Does this ring true for you as well?
