I have been working with a bunch of ex-faang people for a couple of years now. They are slightly better in every aspect, but nothing groundbreaking. They are just people.

That certainly goes along with the leetcode ethos. Why have a 1 line O(n log n) solution when you can build a 400 line O(n) clever solution that eventually stops working when your requirements change and your assumptions no longer hold? That's the vibe I've gotten from pretty much every ex-FAANG or FAANG-aspiring coworker I've had in the last 10 years.

2x mid tier remote jobs pays better than you'll get at a FAANG, and requires less effort ;)

I had to fly out multiple times back then. Each trip was usually 2-3 days -- 1 to fly, 1 to interview, 1 to fly back. Amazon once flew me out twice for the same job, only to reject me at the end.

At least they were less stingy back then. Nice hotel downtown and enough per diem to get a good breakfast and a steak dinner.
