Why Microsoft not in MAANG or FAANG?

Why Microsoft not in MAANG or FAANG?- Grapevine

Welcome to Office Gossip's Private Community

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 ?

Should I choose 45L or wait for FAANG?

Visited Mumbai recently and loved the vibe of the city and the growing infra. Truly feels like a global megacity with diverse set of people, and also very safe and welcoming.

It’s disappointing that Mumbai does not have any opportunities for high paying SWE roles.

Why is there no bigtech/FAANG jobs in Mumbai? Does anyone has inside scoope on any offices opening up there?

Why doesn’t Mumbai have any FAANG jobs?

Due to the toxic environment at my current employer(FAANG), I had to resign. I am taking a job which is a step down in pay and role (a refresh basically) and am moving outside tech( no hiring in tech rn :/)

In short to long term, how can I save this career mishap? Although the step down is worth it mentally, given the toxicity I am facing in my team at FAANG, I do want to recover professionally. I have applied a lot but I am 100% sure I won’t get a better job in this market.

Product 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?

As I am currently 26,
Till now I have 4 years experience in a startup and I recently joined Amazon as System development engineer 2.
My goal is simple, after 30 I want to stick to a good company which will give me recognition, promotion, competitive salary and work life balance.
I want to stick to an organization for maybe 10 years and want to reach a higher position along with company growth.

Can any one suggest to me which top companies I should target next after a couple of years.

Which FAANG company is best for the long term.

Got to know from my skip manager that there will be another round of layoffs starting Monday.

Welcome to Product Managers's Private Community

Worked at a conglomerate and currently at a unicorn. In a conversation with 4 other soonicorn/early stage companies. Confused if I should move, also the benefits and risks associated? Lastly is it too risky to switch jobs right now (market scenario)?

What size companies are best for PM learning

Curious to know which companies serve best meals to their employees

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...

Keep in consideration: Pay, WLB, culture, learning curve, when should we join (as a fresher or when retiring), growth, opportunites, etc

I will go first:
Any FAANG/ MAANG, so I can make a clout and start selling courses :)

Have heard about companies we shouldnt work for, how about a list of companies you want to work for?

Guys, i am in final year B.Tech, currently preparing for placements. 

My Parents advice is to prepare for Govt Jobs. They are fearing about the layoffs, but my aim is to get job in anyone of the MAANG.

I just want to know why layoffs happening. Is it because of the over hiring or because of the poor performance of the employees.

Please share your experience in your company too.
