Your sentiment reflects what I see on teamblind.com. It's all TC and leveling up. A ton of people don't give much of a shit about the subject matter.


If we go by the content of teamblind, then every company's engineers only care about TC and leveling up.


Are you saying that people on teamblind are only focusing on the TC aspect, and also care about many other things, or that only a subset of people only care about TC? If the latter, it’s still worrisome that so many of those people who hop around chasing only TC and not caring about subject matter, are highly valued at these companies like Facebook. Glib and shallow E6 and E7 don’t make for great tech leadership in a company that supposedly cares about ethics and safety.


Seems like very few engineers that make it to E6+ are the ones rabbling on about "TC or GTFO" on Blind. It's mostly more junior engineers or bad engineers that will never make it past the 2nd or 3rd rung of the career ladder.


I get your point, but glib and shallow climbers are exactly what you want for a company that only supposedly cares. They're very good at supposedly caring!


Blind is a toxic community, in my opinion.
