I was contacted by an Amazon recruiter some month back. The experience was so unpersonal, I felt like a soulless robot: I just got a link to a HackerRank test and solved some automated puzzles with no one but me and the…
Well, if a country if full of people believing COVID is a hoax and wearing a mask is useless - what do you think you will get? You get exactly what's happening now.

Why should I trust Google to compare GCP, AWS, Azure? If I really want to compare services, I would do it on my own, look for independent websites or pay an independent company to does it for me.
Working in one of the companies OP mentioned. Don't assume that work at FAANG is automatically "interesting". You will do work others think is required for the company, "interesting" is never the key someone higher on…
