For a Tech profile is FAANG / FAANGMULA necessary to be on the resume somewhere or tier 1 tech startups are good enough?

I'm in Tokopedia which is series H or so... Almost close to IPO.

My question is mostly to understand if i should keep hustling to get into FAANGMULA or, switching between such startups is good enough.

Edit -
By necessary I mean, necessary for a good career

  • What tier is AI Foundation? Weโ€™re still Series B so not very well known. Half the engineers are from FAAMG / pre-IPO Twitter / HYPSM (professors), and 1/4 of the engineers are from Adobe or worse companies. The last 1/4 is new grads or humanities degree career switchers.

      Sounds cool, but if you have to ask then it's not in FAANG / FAANGMULA / FAAMG / FAANGMULTAD...

      You get the point right

      This would be called a tier 1 or 2 startup. Right now I'm in Tokopedia which is series H or so... Almost close to IPO.

      I canโ€™t do that. Itโ€™s so personal and subjective. Do you want to be a VP of a big company? CEO of small company? Make top of market TC? Get rich? Be perceived as successful by your peers? Be one of the best in the world at your craft? Caring about one of these things over the other can change your path, and which one you care about can change over time as you learn more.

    Non FAANG can join FAANG but I've noticed in my recent job search top tier startups reject me in the resume screening stage
