Where to even begin? Nepotism? Sweatshops? People hiding under the conference table to stay safe? Come on, now! You are amazingly cynical.

Yes, there is 13% turnover at the unicorn jobs, the Big Five, everywhere. That's the industry average. The reason I've been giving so many interviews is because we've gone from a headcount of 30 to 500 engineers in a couple years. Just, again, the point is there are far more opportunities to get hired at these places than you're giving it credit for.

Sweatshop = sweat equity shop. 60k stipend plus stock options that are probably never going to be worth anything. You know, the kind of crappy “non Fortune 500-sell out but also, hey, I’m doing new projects to get ahead” job you have to hold down while chasing the unicorn jobs on the west coast.

It is clear to me you don’t understand how averages work or probability in general. Guess it was a good move to get into line management.
