Growth 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 ?

Frontend Engineer

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.

Welcome to Office Gossip's Private Community

Working in FAANG

I have been trying to get in to the G for a long time now. I even have applied abroad G but here I don't seem to get even a little response. It's not like they have ghosted my application. I felt that there is something fishy going on in G which no one is talking about. I also looked at the recent free annual meetings and eventhough I am fully qualified for such, the response is not as expected and I can literally see another guy who belongs to certain BLANK is attending the meeting.

What's really happening inside G in India?? Any inside info will help me not to look for offers from that company.

Is G in FAANG caste based in India?

Machine Learning Engineer

Offer : E4 175k pounds
Current: L4 56 Lakhs
YoE: 1 year 7 months

Here's what I have considered:

- Living in London is going to be costly, on an avg I'll be saving 1.2x of India.
- Meta London created a bad reputation for itself when last year it laid off people from India just 2 days after joining
- it's not worth it going from L4 to E4, I probably should switch only when getting a higher level or a big big pay bump (this is probably not a big pay bump considering the cost of living)
- I am not very good at making friends, and I have quite some friends here now... I don't just want to leave everything and be alone in a new city so far away from home.

- the only pro point I see is that..  it is London.

Do you think I should reconsider my decision?

I have decided to reject Meta London offer

Dude, take risk. I know staying in Google looks like safety net but You might not be able to do adventures stuff later in life. Moving to a new country, new food, new culture. You WILL meet new people. Those things can’t be bought.

Basically title, globally what would be the share of Indians working in the BigTech's/MNCs' engg teams..?

In MSFT I feel like I see atleast one or more Indians in every team I come across... May be it's some bias that I only remember the teams with Indians but still feels like indians form the major part of the global tech work force.. have you felt the same..?

Hello everyone , I am a final year student currently persuing my B.Tech in Electrical Engineering. I am searching for data science jobs . Can anyone help me .

How can I join FAANG in data science roles as a fresher

Contemplating between an offer at Google vs a Series A startup, in India, with similar pay.

I'm curious to know if Google as a name on the resume (or for future prospects) is still as big as it was maybe 5-8 years ago? 

Or is India just a low cost employee centre for them and it'll always be down-the-stream work, at the whims of middle/senior managers?

YoE: 4
Role: Analytics

Happy to hear any thoughts (and answer any questions)!

Is Google/FAANG still as sought after?

Solution Architect

The FAANG and unicorn employee salaries for even 2-7 YOE engineers is quite insane compared to the average Indian employee pay in other sectors of the economy.

The average SDE2 at these companies makes 50+ lakhs per year in compensation (not “CTC” but real money) The average SDE3 makes 80+ lakhs which is frankly insane.

What are you guys doing with all that money?

FAANG & unicorn folks, what do you do with all that money?

Giving 34.2% directly and 18-28% indirectly to gormint. My biggest expenses by a country mile.

Paypal has a really good work culture and work life balance. I'm currently working on state of the art products, so even the work is very good. Leadership has some problems but overall I think it's good. But the only problem I see is less pay compared to the market average, which is kinda frustrating.

What are the biggest disadvantages of working in FAANG acc to you?

According to me:
1. Company leadership says A (which is something I most of the time agreed with), but I kept seeing middle management do B.
2. More and more processes and red tape. I did not like the direction the company was developing (I was in a sensitive org, so we had a lot of lawyers etc to begin with, but it got overbearing)
3. Promotions are extremely formulaic and at times I felt like an ape trying to tick 10 check boxes in a half.
