Many (as in 10-30% at best) perhaps. Not even close to half or majority though, so I fail to understand how the argument could be irrelevant.


At the beginning of 2017, ~12,000 of Google's current ~72,000 employees had previously worked at other big tech companies, and most of them were probably in their R+D headcount of only 27,000. I wouldn't be at all surprised if half of their engineering interviewees came from similar paying jobs, and a the majority of the remainder were college hires.
