It's the same concept as working at a FAANG company. Yes, they're going to run you rugged, but you'll make bank and it will be great for your resume. There is a reason Google added all these in office amenities to encourage people to not go home.
Oh absolutely. And naive people will fall for that shit. In some ways, I can't blame them. At least years ago, I couldn't blame them because you could hustle for a couple of years and then leave with a ton of money. But these companies aren't stupid. They've changed some of their pay structure to where you don't get the big bucks unless you stick with the company for much longer than you would want to. So now you are fucked. If you divide out the hours your burn to your salary, it just isn't particularly worth it. Fuck that.
