I'd agree... for the 250k (or more, much much much more) Silicon Valley jobs.

My university internship and first job was at an insurance company.

Know who works less than employees in the insurance industry?

Almost nobody. I don't think anyone I've ever met in my entire life worked less than people at my first tech job.



The phenomenon you are seeing is present at all large organizations. I promise you that there are thousands of people at Google who do very little.


My first two internships were at an insurance company. Everyone was busy. Not saying your job wasn't what it was but I can't say it's representative of everything outside Silicon Valley.
