> Reputations have never mattered more, and will only do more so in the future
I guarantee there's at least one person per FAANG who never wants to work with me again. Probably a dozen others in different companies.
... And yet, here I am making seven figures and receiving a request or two per day to interview with various tech companies. If one won't hire me, 3 dozen others will. I have a pool of 100+ colleagues who would be happy to provide a glowing reference.
I do not think it matters nearly as much as you think, unless you live in a smaller city and limit yourself to only working locally.
