Is FANG still relevant as an elite destination for top performers?
(CNBC's controversial, sensationalist financial analyst) Jim Cramer coined the term six years ago as a sample of fast-growing, large cap tech stocks, with no mention of the myriad other factors for an employee's well-being and career satisfaction. (In 2013, if Huawei had been a better-performing and more layperson-popular investment vehicle than FB, Cramer would've named it "HANG" instead.) In light of multiple other attractive options, are Facebook, Amazon, Netflix, and Google *the* 4 most desirable companies to work at, going into 2020?
What would be your top 5 now?
There can be a term that sticks as meaningful over time, like "T1" for tier 1. It's easier to type and remember than FAANGMU(?)LLA. Blinders will always be inundanted with more polls (whether you like them or not) on various rankings of career growth, TC, WLB, and so on. As to which dimension is more important, there is too much variance in subjective preferences to choose a definitive "best" for everyone. Simply put, the meaning of T1 is dynamically adapting to our understanding of the changing industry, and that is the most reasonable, appropriately up-to-date perspective.

For myself, only Google, Facebook and LinkedIn are desirable
Uber fail
That's why I didn't include Uber in the desirable list
No because we need Albertsons at the top of the list
Not really. Most people don't particularly enjoy working at companies that large. The pay sure is nice, but they are just safe, comfortable companies. Nothing wrong with that.
At Google study 11 years for a BS-MS-PhD and work on the build scripting system!
