I'll address something else: Fomo is usually a symptom of an underlying deeper issue. Long before Anthropic/Openai, we had these same posts about people desperately wanting to get into Google. They got unhealthy obsessed about this goal that they started prepping for months, even years, documenting their journey on blogs only to get rejected by someone who spent 2 seconds on their application. Getting in is more about luck than most people realize. Once you're in, you had for a long time a skewed romanticized fantasy of what it's like to work at this mythical company (Anthropic isn't a startup by any stretch anymore) only to crash hard and realize it is a classic corporate environment.
