I imagine the vast majority of their ultra top-tier talent has left already unless Meta gave them gigantic bonuses.

The stock is down ~40% from where a lot of their RSUs were granted - more than 50% of their pay comes from those grants.

They've had a year of time to go somewhere else and make way more money - most of them probably took that unless Meta gave them a gigantic bonus to keep them whole.

But other FAANGS are not hiring. So where it's somewhere unless they planned to start their own businesses?

Not sure why you’re getting downvoted. I’m also curious where these people are going to earn massive comp.

They are if you’re talented enough.

This is a toxic mentality; getting hired at FAANG has very little to do with your "talent"

I'm talented at sucking up and playing politics like a harp. Like a freaking genius at it, seriously. Is that what you meant?

This is a huge factor! In my experience having a whole bunch of stock can be a really powerful anchor to keep you in place at your job even if you're not 100% happy.

If the stock tanks that vaporizes really quickly.
