On the other hand, as somebody who's looking to hire software engineers, I can tell you that we look at prior experience at Google or Facebook as a positive thing on a resume. It's the same way we look at admission to a top-tier school. It doesn't always mean the person is good, but it's a positive signal that's likely to get your resume a second looks. That being said, I've worked for companies ranging from 3 employees to 40,000 employees. I definitely like working for the small ones better. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
