FAANG Is overrated and we should stop talking about?

It's no longer relevant and really unnecessary. It creates a sort of "class boundary" between those in FAANG and those not in FAANG. It also just doesn't make sense. Is Facebook really in the same caliber as Amazon or Google right now? I wouldn't say so. Additionally lots of people here would be pretty satisfied with a job at Tesla or IBM. If you, like me, are specializing in AI, then your dream job is likely OpenAI or DeepMind or again, IBM. Part of the beauty of computer science is that it's applicable to just about anything else, what's with all the focus on tech? One more thing: if you are good enough to work at one of these more prestigious companies, I would argue you should stop selling your labour and start YOUR OWN company #tech #faang #google #facebook #amazon

I know! It's not all about the TC. Sometimes about the history too.

What do you mean by Facebook not being in same caliber as Amazon ? I think there is no comparison between the two considering general talent level, culture and also TC

Fb >>>> Amazon

Facebook having a lower caliber than Amazon? Lmfao the only reason Amazon is in FAANG is to keep it far away from being a homophobic slur

All these general discussions about large tech companies are dumb. How can you compare Google and Facebook when you could be working on a cutting edge AI system at one company and an internal HR tool at another. Amazon is known for its terrible my wlb but my wlb is great while I know people at Google with bad WLB. Just focus on maximizing TC offers through competing offers and try to find the team working on the most interesting projects.
