Sorry If this sounds like a rant brother.

Why microsoft? why every student is running behind FAANG? please don’t take this personally, I am more concerned about the trend in general.

No focus on building the right skills or future proofing yourself in terms of the tech, but whatever lands me in FAANG I am fine.

There are far far better companies present that takes your learning 0-100 in very small span of time, but people still want to land FAANG.

  • FAANG pay is border line average.

  • Culture usually depends on team to team but I can see a lot of people choose FAANGs to stay there in the later stage of their career.

  • apart from some teams, most projects are just in maintenance mode or very less innovation.

  • And due to this FAANG culture, people who are there have a massive ego.

  • FAANG Recruiters make you feel like they are the ones giving jobs and doing you a favour.

Ask yourself questions-

  • At this stage of your career do you want to be in a place like this?
  • is it the FAANG status, or pressure from society that once you are there you are top 1%?

Youtube is filled with them.

@zepto You are spot on! This answer should be pinned somewhere on Grapevine.

FAANG use their brand name to low-ball. Definitely not the best payers. Even within, told by my managers at Microsoft - do not expect much, even if u work too hard.. what exactly is my motivation then ?
