Even for data science and product management roles, FAANG-like companies pay the highest in the industry.

Hey viners,

Have seen my friends doing DSA day and night to get into FAANG, it was their dream place to be at.

But I have seen only SDE folks.

Just curious to know, is the FAANG hype not for other tech roles like Data Science or non tech like Product Managers?

Never seen any one grinding for Data Science and PM roles to get into FAANG.

Shed some light.

FAANG hype only for SDEs?

FAANG hype only for SDEs?- Grapevine

It is generally considered as when you join FAANG you are a software developer, with tags such as SDE I or II or III. But I've heard very little about analysts/data engineers/data scientists in these companies. I am a B.Tech final year student and I'll be joining a Data Analysis startup firm in June this year. So I wanted to know about my future opportunities in FAANG companies, I want  to know if the salaries offered by these companies for such roles are similar to the Developer role and firstly do they provide opportunities for students coming from a background like mine?

How to get into FAANG as an SDET

Microsoft, help me

Had a call with my cousin this weekend. Life has been very hectic lately so, I have been laying low for a while now. Anyway, my cousin reached out and he brought up something very interesting. He mentioned how the quality of new engineering grads at FAANG has been trending downwards over the last three or so years.

Technical competency aside, there is a weird behavioural shift wherein freshers have adopted job hopping every 2-3 years. He told me that there are zero engineers who stayed longer than 3 years at his org. 

I mean optimizing for pay is fine. The thing to really balance for is impact in the long run because at one point you would find it hard to scale beyond a Lead/EM role at an org. 

But the real thing is that the "FAANG" hype has started to die down amongst the 99th percentile of talent. I wonder how long will it take to have a trickle down effect to 80th percentile and so on.

Just to validate, I asked a friend for his opinion and he opined that "Bhai, tum FAANG mei naaukar ho ya kisi startup mei, ho toh naukar hi." Translation: "You can work at FAANG, or at a startup but you are still a servant(employee)"

Is the FAANG hype really dead?

Is the FAANG hype dead? 💀

Was there any faang hype among 99th percentile folks in the first place?? 
 I graduated from a tier-1 college, majority of my friends are from Similar colleges and if I look in my friend circle, most of the folks are working at high growth startups or something of their own.  
 Sorry to say but faang was never aspirational to begin with.  
 The target audience of youtuber bhaiya/didis were tier-2/3 folks and maybe this kind of hype exists among them.

Product Manager

I have read in multiple places that FAANG hiring abroad is focused more on experience+skill, and less on degree. Infact people with no graduate degrees are also hired, if they have the relevant skills.

Was curious to know if this holds up for their Indian counterpart hiring. Does Google/Microsoft/Amazon/Apple in India hire candidates if they have the relevant experience/skills but absolutely no degree ?

If they actually do hire, what are the important pointers that the hiring team usually look into for such profiles?

Does FAANG India hire candidates without any degree ?

Welcome to Data Scientists's Private Community

I compared many SDE vs data scientist/ engineer CTC which were public.

I can see data roles are paid less .

Is it true?
Many consider data roles as less coding(tech) roles. Why?

SDE's paid higher ?

Data engineer

Bhaiya/ Didi, please stfu. Keep your courses to you. If you really care about bringing revolution to edtech, then sell your courses for free. What you are doing is fooling the dumb gullible indian college kids. I don't want to see your randomass selfie explaining why your course is 10xbetter than the same other thousand courses. This breed is successfully ruining lakhs of students with the clickbaity crore rupee salary.

My blood boils whenever a person from NSIT/DTU, ex Microsoft/Amazon/Meta, 2021/22 placed starts preaching random gyan on LinkedIn about placement/ interview

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

I don't know if I'm right or not but I feel that software engineering in India is becoming more of "How to get into FAANG" rather than actually learning skills.

Whenever I open LinkedIn all I see is 
"What I did to get into FAANG"
"My life in FAANG"
"But this course to get into FAANG"

And the most fucked up scene is people are quitting there jobs at FAANG to create content to get into FAANG.
I'm so sick of it now.
Whom is to blame here?

Product Marketing Manager

I was interning at Microsoft and got the PPO as well. But I chose to join a remote startup and resigned from Microsoft, for various reasons including Pay, Learning, Product, Tech stack, etc.

And everyone I talked with since then has asked the same thing, "bro why did you leave Microsoft?",  "bro Microsoft is such a big brand", blah blah.

When are we going to realize that working for a FAANG /MAANG /FAANGMULA /LODALASAN company is not the ultimate goal of everyone's life ?

Why are people so obsessed with FAANG tag ?

How are the oppprtunities for Sales role at FAANGs? Do they offer good pay? Looking to connect with someone to understand more about such opportunities

I am good at DSA and in HLD. I feel pretty confident that I will be able to crack the interview once I get a chance.

I have 2 yoe in total in 3 product based startups.

Graduated Bsc cs from a tier 1 college.

For folks who manage to get at interview there, what thing help you the most?

How to get interview at FAANG?

I just think we should skip DSA rounds for existing FAANG employees.

I understand the importance of DSA rounds and is pretty much required for SDE 1 roles as their major work is to code. But for higher levels, it starts becoming less and less relevant and pointless.

In most companies DSA is to understand the basics of the candidate, can they write code, explain the problem and thought process. Now most FAANG interviewers look for the same thing. Now once I have cleared one that means I have proved myself to be someone who meets the bar, doing it again is just like "Well, have you continued grinding leetcode after getting the job". You can check design competencies, problem solving in design, mentoring etc. but why ask DSA and go through that gruelling interview process.

Your thoughts?
