Although I've never worked at a FAANG, but everything except the internal competition to be seen as "the guy" is actually true for any big, multinational company. The alignment, the big leverage of a mistake, the huge code bases that only "the guy who left half a year ago" knows about and the cultural differences (apart from the challenges to work with both Chinese, European and US timezones at once) is all the same.
That said, it gives lots of experience. As does working in startups as well as mature SMEs. Having done all three, I can't say either is better. They're different, but some are better at a certain point of life and not as good in other points of life.
I do think it's a good experience to try either way since the challenges are so different from that of startups. These large multinationals look for different skills some of which you can't really develop at startups.
Yeah. Ive started to use somewhat incorrect English, like skipping apostrophes, just so it is obvious it couldnt have been generated, since Ai models dont fail on such simple mistakes.
Unfortunately, parts of how AI produced texts are structured and formulated do match my natural voice, since it follows the classic patterns of writing. That sucks.
It kind of takes its toll somehow; because the solution is "done" one it's fed to the AI, there's no time to recover by churning out boilerplate code or other patterns that sits in the spine.
Starliks have a smaller field of view because they operate at a much lower altitude, so they need to be in a much larger volume (10x) than those from Eutelsat.
For Canada and the Nordic countries, the weather on Greenland is business as usual, for all branches of the military.
My guess is as yours - the US military's focus on middle east and east Asia is of great disadvantage for them. Do they even get below -20 C for any longer periods at any base located on US mainland? Alaska, and some regions close to Canada, perhaps, leaving them with only some 10.000 personnel having anything near arctic experience, majority of which are based at the bases, not trained for front-action in artic climate.
