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

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.

Indeed. My company regularly hires high school students as interns, and quite a few of them choose to work full time for a few years after graduating from HS but before starting college. There is nothing uncommon about this at all. He is white and male, so this "story" doesn't even have an SJW angle.
