This. Every engineer employed at BO is one engineer not wasting their talents doing adtech at FAANG to pay the bills.

Different kind of engineers usually, but yeah.

I have worked with multiple folks with Aerospace/Mechanical Engineering backgrounds who have switched to being data scientists or software engineers. Often because of the dismal job prospects in their fields. So yes, quite often the same kind of engineer.

Give me a 10000 people and 100 billion dollars. I guarantee you I can squander it like a pro.

That's not what's happening here though.

I didn't say it was, I'm responding to your claim that

> you can't employ that many people and spend that much money without advancing the industry.

I'm (jokingly) saying I definitely could.
