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.
I mean really who the fucks cares.
He prolly the one making everything so shitty.
Did he post this story to promote himself? First I have ever heard of him. Editors, can you get this shit off the front page?
So this piece of shit is the reason I keep getting kicked off Facebook because I login from another city I fly to? This only happens on my laptop but never my phone. Then it asks for my phone number to verify my identity, and it won't accept my phone number that it fucking asked for. Sounds like this little cunt needs a beating instead of a job promotion.

Don't do that.
Direct your attention to the slashdot editors, who are the ones responsible for this crap on the front page.
Doxxing and belittling is immature, unfair, and a favourite tactic of our home-grown capital "A" terrorist organization.
Did you want to be known as one of them?
Kid makes a mobile game, gets hired by FB as developer (software engineer my ass), somehow becomes a product manager and spends 2 years learning about his own demographic and creates a failed social app.
For some reason, this makes him attractive to Google and they hire him.
*ugh*
Not only is Idiocracy becoming real, so is Silicon Valley.
My beliefs do not require that you agree with them.
Was he an engineer? Or a product manager? They're not the same thing.
Good to see silicon valley is still a big fan of the "failing upward" trend.
No doubt brought about by the same attitude as uninhibited, laissez faire venture capitalism, but for people instead of business. "He's smart, he's got to lay the golden egg eventually!"
Not all whites are white supremacists. Not all muslims are ISIS supporters.
We have many whites who strongly condemn that actions of white supremacists, and many muslims who strongly condemn terrorist acts.
If he gets the money. A product manager isn't typically given tons of options and the salary isn't necessarily the greatest. It's near the bottom of the management pecking order, and isn't a people management job usually. However, the job normally requires some actual working experience.
I have a friend who started as an intern and grew into a management and then VP position in less than a decade, on the basis if being there in the early startup days and having more knowledge of what was going on than any of the newer hires. But the lack of experience was evident, in engineering and management. Still a very bright person, just promoted 10 to 20 years too soon.
It's like the old dotcom days. :(

Was it this kid's mother who did it and needed to brag to her friends and relatives?
