MODERATORS
A friend of mine worked for a FAANG company and he taught me that people get promoted for creating something "new" rather than improving something that already exists.
Bullshit. You are just regurgitating the same tired crap that's been repeated on the Internet for years.
As someone who's worked for such companies since the mid-90's, it's common knowledge that run-and-maintain isn't appreciated, only doing new things is.
Someone who keeps things from failing is much more at risk during layoffs than those who work only on new projects.
Gonna call me a liar now?
You got get that W, you don't get a W for making shit work. You are a cost center haha
As someone who works for a similar company now, this notion and the success of this strategy/mindset greatly exaggerated.
Considering how often new projects get axed at Google you couldn't possibly be safer on average than working on a golden goose (like Search/Android/Maps/etc).
You got me. I made up a story so I could get my one upvote.
It's repeated because it's true. This is very common in the industry.
I work at a FAANG adjacent company and it's exactly the same thing here. I believe it 100%
