Only AWS should be considered FAANG (Not Amazon.com side)

CDO (Amazon.com) is not the same level of organisation as AWS. Not nearly the same technical challenge, not nearly the same level of talent. AWS is way above CDO, they should not be considered the same tier. AWS is similar to other FAANG like FB/G, CDO is closer to legacy companies like Yahoo.

But in the end, it doesn't matter! It's all Amazon. Outside Amazon, all π are treated equally.
Also AWS engineers spend (waste!) a lot of time on operational stuff. Sometimes I wish I was in retail or Alexa teams, for faster growth and exposure. Wasted too much time in AWS.
