Nobody in big companies wants to hire from other big companies is funny. Google recently got a HR initiative to hire preferentially from start ups but also they almost always want people who worked in large scale projects. I think this is some sort of toxic cross pollination with Facebook.

Also it’s kind of ridiculous that they want founder level start up experience but also only top schools. Looking for a unicorn amongst unicorns

FAANG pipelines are likely full of people who fit these criteria - but then they whittle it down to only the ones who can performatively solve leetcode puzzles within strict time controls, and the leadership is left wondering why startups with <1% of their resources are dominating in AI performance and mindshare.

If nobody was actually hiring people with "short stints" (<2 yrs) then you wouldn't be able to find anybody with a short stint ...

Although you wouldn't also see so many short stints if people weren't paid the direct cost of replacement ...

I'm amused by the fact that you're not considered a "job hopper" if you change your company every two years.

I like how Cognizant is listed twice.

So.. For which company? The sentence "there are scam profiles all around the IT world" would not be on any real company of scale guidelines, and no company would put that much liability in one "slide" even if they had them.

In 2025, your programming interviews will require you to use an AI programming assistant.

Learn them. Get used to them. Become one with the machine. Or, go find another job.

This is all within the realm of possibility. I've heard hiring managers say similar things over my time in the industry. Not condoning it fwiw.

It looks like they want the sort of person who wouldn't work at the sort of place they are.

Compensation for such profiles has to be half million+ too I hope.

That is why if you are a cracked hacker, to want to join one of these large tech companies is like wanting to join IBM in the 1990s.

You are much better off joining a startup or starting one of your own.
