It’s weird when arbitrary grade levels like ‘L4’ become commonly understood lingo or meanings of terms like ‘director’ become kinda standardized so ‘this is a director level position’ has a clear meaning. Like the GS schedule talk in DC. Mark of advanced bureaucratic capture.

The utilitification of FAANG is proceeding on schedule. Nobody ever talks about how the elves are the bureaucrats of middle earth.

I never stood a chance running this kind of gauntlet. I dumb-lucked my way through one test-prep thing at 18 and realized I didn’t stand a chance if ever getting lucky that way again, and have been crawling through the nakatomi spaces of the tech economy ever since.

I’m a senior director level shitposter on here but I have been assured I’m really like VP level despite having less than 50k followers
