Hey all-
I started a mildly successful startup and now going through a mildly successful acquisition (100+ employees, 30+ Prod/Engineers, Series C), and thinking about what comes next. Was hoping to maybe go into one of the FAANG for a while (or something similarly large). Anyone done this? Any suggestions? What jobs do I even apply for?
I’ve been at two of the FAANGs as well as several early stage companies, and my opinion is that a person who enjoys everything that comes with the startup life enough to see one through to an acquisition is likely to find him or herself grossly incompatible with the reality of working at a FAANG company. But I am very curious to hear your rationale.
