I have been at Netflix, Google and Facebook. Started at Netflix, wanted better WLB switched to Google, got bored due to too much WLB, moved to FB and now there’s no WLB 😂 Thinking to jump ship again. Is it worth catching the remaining two As ? (Amazon and Apple) ?
Amazon is a no for sure. Apple is more like Google but with less infrastructure and less competent research. What’s wrong with Facebook?
Which one was the best on the whole along fb, good, nflx
Google imho FB Netflix are more cut throat
Got it. Thanks
Think of them like infinity stones to reach FIRE. After you work for / collect them all, one snap and you'll be the author of the book "How I got into FAANG and how you can too", make your millions in the China and India market, and retire in a farm just like Thanos.
This 😂
LMAO, love it! I've been thinking about something like this. Maybe not a book. But I don't have a CS degree, and became a dev at a FAANG. I have some good experiences that I see common interest in.
Where were you before Netflix? Netflix only hires Sr SWEs and up.
I was at a start up for a couple of years
You think Netflix would become good wlb if you’re there for a long time and then everything you do becomes second nature?
The irony is that people use Netflix/FB to chill, but those companies won’t let their employees chill 😢
You can try being just a user instead of being a user + employee. Welcome to join our side of the river lol
How long at FNG combined and what's your net worth?
7 yoe (including my experience at the start up I joined initially) Net worth around: 1.2 million
Are you 29?
Don’t do Apple. Your life can turn into a nightmare. Culture is very toxic and lots of incompetent managers and employees. You will suffer especially having the experience in other top three companies; Apple is no where close to them. WLB also is up to manager, I had very long hours.
Op what's your Yoe?
7
