What is this obsession with fang? I’m sorry but these companies are destroying the world and you all want to be a part of it? I don’t think you all realize how POWERFUL your skills as a software engineer are. Please think about how these companies are shaping society. Facebook/ Instagram is directly causing young girls and boys to kill themselves. Social media is ruining the way that people interact. And it’s touted as the best place to work in here? Google is promoting lies and deception by purposefully altering the way we get information and stealing our privacy. They bought nest to spy on us We can be so much better than this. We, as programmers, are building these tools. All for money. these companies are ruining the world and we tout them like they are amazing and holy on this app. Frankly I’m horrified and so scared for the future
I care more about TC.
It’s a blind koolaid that these companies give out high salary. Nothing else
People are obsessed only about money. If there is a company that produces laser guns and gives better TC then it will be more desirable company than FAANG
Money is not worth destroying lives to me.
I know a nonprofit in Nigeria that would be glad to utilize your skills if you want to make a difference. They cant pay you but they will be very greatful
You didn’t say what is so bad about Amazon, Apple, and Netflix.
Everyone knows what is wrong with Amazon. And not everyone can work at Apple or Netflix The other three are bigger I think
TC or GTFO
We can say same thing about Cisco. Hardware engineers could have done so much but instead worked for Cisco which has become a monopoly and has routers and switches everywhere. It helps government spy on citizens. Do you see the pattern?
Crickets from OP. You can make this argument about virtually any industry or line of work.
I no longer am at cisco. I agree that many tech companies have this problem. What I want to do is open a discussion with the people creating these tools, engineers, on how we can do better. What we are building is important. We can all do better
Don't act innocent. Cisco is the mother of all evil that has befallen us. Why did you sell routers and switches in the first place?
To connect the world 🌎
FAANG- Only for $$, nothing else.
They make amazing products that impact lots of people’s lives. Unlike random infrastructure companies that maybe make “important” stuff that no one cares about.
What’s amazing about these products? we were doing just fine before this technology. I don’t want to attack- I merely want to open a discussion
I don’t think you do want an open discussion. Your original post is biased beyond belief. Facebook isn’t killing people, it is helping people connect. I am able to keep up with friends who in the past I wouldn’t have been able to see pictures of more than once a year since sending letters sucks. Instagram helps me find amazing places to travel too. Google helps me find restaurants and hotels that AAA TripTiks would never have suggested. The ability to switch seamlessly from my phone to my desktop and back again that Apple gives me makes using services so much easier. If you come at things from an excessively sad and negative and angry perspective, you’re only going to find things that make you sad or angry.
I’m somewhat new here but what I gather is the only thing better than FAANG is Albertsons. Only a few blessed individuals have been able to leetcode enough to even be worthy of an interview at big A.
I love how we are STILL trolling that one dude so much. Oh God please don’t let us ever forget 😆
Was this the dude that was complaining Netflix didn’t want him? Which dude we talking about here
