Nah Meta is widely regarded as one of the best employers in the world

lolwut

They pay a lot, but everyone knows they're overworked like hell. Meta is a shit-tier employer, but if you're a young masochist then they're worth a few years to pad your accounts.

Same with Apple. They pay a lot and it looks fantastic on your resume. Even though in reality the likelihood is that the job you did was basically the same as it would be in any other company, but Apple prestige is a thing.

Please note - 99% of the time on the internet, when someone says "in the wuuurld" they mean "In this one capitalist hellhole country" so in this case it may be correct

Expanding on to your comment:

99% of the time on the internet, when someone says “in the wuuurld” they mean

“In my very limited experience, in my tiny portion of the world, that I may have never left.”

Unless a person has vast experience and has had deep conversations with thousands of people, we as humans just don’t have the ability to appreciate just how radically different life experiences are for people we share the same block with.
