FAANG stock performance in the last 5 years

Here's how much each FAANG (and Microsoft) has grown in the last 5 years: Apple 470% Netflix 465% Microsoft 411% Amazon 382% Google 259% Facebook 198% The trend I see here is that companies that are most reliant on advertising are growing the slowest. So why do people talk up ad-tech so much?

Jane street onsite end early

I had a SWE interview at Jane Street. Made it about halfway through (2/4) and then after the lunch break the recruiter said they were going to end the day. Is this common? Or did I do laughably bad? Btw doing an 8am interview because it’s 11am for them should be illegal 😂 New TC: 470 (not at spl

I’m leaving oracle

Going back to aws in two weeks. Getting a pay bump. Couldn’t handle the bureacratic infighting and senseless decisions. Can’t recommend oracle to anyone. Nobody listens to ideas. Nobody cares that we’re constantly out of capacity. Nobody cares to innovate and go against the bureacratic grain. Tc:4

Amazon AWS “Leader” (Non-tech) Comp

Based on some preliminary search results, this maps to an L7 role at AWS. What would be the TC for this non-tech level role? It’s within the corp strategy team - which I’ve heard has higher TC than other non/tech roles. Would 700TC be attainable? Current TC: $470
