Facebook's 21-Year-Old Wunderkind Leaves For Google (bloomberg.com)

Posted by msmash on from the musical-chair dept.

An anonymous reader shares a report: Facebook hired Michael Sayman for an internship when he was 17 years old, and gave him a full-time engineering job at 18. Now, the wunderkind is leaving for Alphabet's Google. He turned 21 last week. At Facebook, Sayman was a product manager who helped the social-media giant understand how his generation uses their phones, advising on experimental products for teens and helping executives understand trends. At Google, he'll be a product manager for Assistant, a voice-based service built on the search engine's giant database.

  38. Give Him A Break by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0

    The guy just turned 21. Let him brag a little. It's nice living in a bubble. Don't try to rip his apart just because your's has already popped. Instead of arguing about the pros/cons of skipping college, everyone is just attacking him directly. You learn far more in college than just what your classes teach. But Facebook and Google are sort-of college towns so... I hope this guy has some financial education. He could have already set himself up for retirement by now. I also hope he gets over his ageism. Just because you think people over 22 aren't cool or are creepy doesn't mean you should exclude them from your products.

    I can't decide if his future is looking good or poor. There's more to life than your job and income, I can't tell if you've learned that, and jumping directly into a corporate job won't teach you that.

      My eldest daughter just got head-hunted from dog-walker job to a plum baby-sitter role at 2x the pay. I'm sure it'll be all over social media and /. within hours. Yay!

      It's nice to see the /. community coming together to heap abuse on it, though.

      I'm tempted to submit a story. "Noted software developer and occasional author of Slashdot comments Michael Wojcik cut his fingernails last night. 'I suppose I typically cut them once a week or so,' the tech legend reported."
