What a harmful viewpoint. A single lifetime is nothing in the context of a country's history, but it's all a person has. Might as well go somewhere you'll be able to realize your full potential. If only to gain the skills and influence to actually to change something in your home country.



What an unthoughtful viewpoint. You are correct: all we have is life. Humble bragging about selling one's soul for clout is rather uninspired.

We both know that with a computer and internet connection, one can gain the skills and influence to do nearly anything, from anywhere.

Full potential is hardly realized only by joining FAANG. If anything, it can cause irreversible harm and arrest a guileless mind.

The callow campus life at FAANGs is ripely built to conceal the geopolitical and capitalistic affront. The workers tacitly support this affront through their mental givings, active labor, and passive complicities of employment.
