A long back my colleague has told that amazon is a TCS/Infy of FAANGs..

UX/UI Designer

Data Scientist

imo Amazon is much better than Microsoft and Google

Solution Architect

It’s true. Not that I minded working at Google and Microsoft. But Amazon left me with so many memories 😋

Software Engineer

This makes me feel punish but we all know Amazon lol

Product Manager

Resource optimisation. She is saving your job so be happy.

Senior Product Manager

Seems totally fine to me. I myself have working with another team to get the deliverables on schedule.

Software Developer

This happens in most companies which is what i have seen

This happens in most places but that doesn't mean that it is correct.

As long as I am getting recognised for it, it's a win win. Plus, free networking.

Welcome to corp life. Your manager might actually get promoted for "delivering two projects". 
Will you and the team get recognition? Lol!

Found this and it made me smack my head on the pavement.

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.

The biggest disadvantage of working at FAANG...

I have never seen official handle of any FAANG page featuring a day in office? Is it the new trend? 

If this is official then definitely Vasundhra is getting extra hike 😅😝

Welcome to Office Gossip's Private Community

Came across a twitter post where a user says its impossible for tier 3 college folks to crack FAANG with freshers/low experience. 

How is the work culture at FAANG ??? Do you all get to work on the world changing products there ?

FAANG folks plz answer. 

Exception is amazon. Would like to know the rest all companies work culture.

What’s the most challenging part of working at a FAANG company?

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.

Security Engineer

Analyst

Besides FAANG, do any other companies offer salaries beyond 10 times the YOE?

Are there really jobs that offer beyond 10xYOE?

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?

FAANG Engineers are creating an eco chamber

Hi Everyone, I have some 2 years of experience as a Java developer and I'm getting  6LPA so I wanted to work on FAANG company share your valuable advice and it's possibly got 50 LPA to share a road map.

How can I Enter into the FAANG Company

Associate

I work on growth and marketing, and have to deal with perf marketing a lot. 
It is in these situations that I have to sometimes interface with people from FAANG or other larger companies. Because our org has major spends, we often have Account Managers/others from these companies as interface.

This experience is consistent across Microsoft, Google, Meta, etc. 
Firstly, they absolutely do not give two shits about your business. They will pretend to care about your business goals and even pretend that they understand what a startup needs. But they just dont. These are the most CHECKED OUT people I have ever met in my life

They meet with you like it's a check list. 

They absolutely do not care about startups. As platforms or as people. They don't give two fucks whether their work has any impact. It's just pretense - and hitting whatever basic targets they have. 

They do not care about anything related to work apart from 12 pm to 5 pm (their work timings)

They are a plague, slowing down society, lacking any spark to ever do any real work in this world.

Rant: Big Tech (FAANG) Employees/AMs are a menace

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 ?

Looking at so many layoffs at Google, Cloudflare and FAANG-type comoanies; that too in spite of having profitable quarters makes me think of FAANG is a curse instead of blessing?
Anyone with similar thoughts?

FAANG unattractive in 2024

Can people who have been at FAANG for 4-5+ years share what their salary progression has been like?

I came to know recently about someone where the first year TC for a L5 position at Google was 1.54cr where the base was 60.5 lpa. Assuming one starts at 1.54cr (which in my mind is already quite inflated for someone with 8 year experience), what would their salary progression look like?

Need help to prepare for FAANG

I am Software Engineer with 3 YOE. Is there someone who could refer me at faang or equivalent companies?

Referral @ FAANG

The money looks good because inflatable CTC, duh. There are tons of companies that will match(and exceed the pay) and won't make you jump through a million loops. Also, what is with the fact that they continue to ask the stupidest brain teasers that has nothing to do with what i am supposed to do.

Let's admit it. Even if we got through the interview process, I have done no innovative work in my time here.

Anyone willing to echo this?

Program Manager

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.

How do you like the work-life balance in FAANG. Is that something special or as regular IT companies.
