Best FAANG company for improving skills?
I understand that many like the work-life balance of say Google or Facebook more than say Amazon or Tesla. And also the onsite benefits tend to have people gravitate more towards companies with them. I'm specifically, utterly focused on growth in skills and general acumen, work output, and business understanding. Given that is the only criteria, e.g. throw work-life balance, benefits, free food, niceness of mangers etc. out the window, what would be the best FAANG or FAANG-like company to work with, in your opinion? #FAANG #worklifebalance #facebook #google #amazon #netflix #tesla #microsoft
Definitely not google. FB likely and then Amazon
Perhaps a start-up where you can wear multiple hats and have bigger impact?
+
How many ?
Facebook for sure Google defo not
What makes you think Facebook has better WLB than Amazon lmaaaooo I've learned more at a faster rate in Amazon than I have any other tech company. Definitely made me a better engineer
I really don't think as of this point that people are switching their technologies once they have started working in it. I don't think that people move from stack to stack.. it's allot harder specially if you bring in there build tools, testing tools, and then the actual scope of the tech stack... It can be over whelming. Perhaps if someone can shed some light as to how much knowledge have they acquire in a particular tech or in multiple of them.
Are we going to put Tesla in the acronym?
Not Google, because all the technologies you learn are specific to Google
Will have to disagree. While the tools are Google specific, the ideas and concepts aren't. Google has given me a lot of learning opportunities in domains that I would have otherwise not qualified for.
That's probably equally true at the other faangs, with the difference being that at them, both the tool knowledge and the domain knowledge are transferrable.
