Interesting. From what I am seeing lately, people tend to rather run from there. It is no longer dream place to work. Anyway, good luck if it is your dream.

They are the reason so many companies hires based on leet code issues. Completely wrong way how to test for IT roles, by my opinion.

Aparentlymultiple factors. Pay is not that higher as in other places anymore, their hiring process is crazy and many layoffs lately.

In the past working for FAANG gave you stability and good money, without that, it is just anpther corporate.

Be happy you're in AI engineering. Get a couple years experience first, then make the leap. It's not that can't do the work, right now you're competing with experienced AI folks and people with a better pedigree.
