FAANG refers to five of the top performing technology companies: Facebook, Amazon, Apple, Netflix, and Google. This term is primarily used in finance.

Do any FAANG companies allow pets at the office? I'm thinking ahead for when everyone is back on site.

Considering PM recruiting and am considering:

1. What level do people come in at as a PM at each of Google/FB/AMZN/Netflix with 2 YOE at MBB post undergrad?
2. Is there a single resource that describes the level of technical knowledge (High / Med / Low) needed for the role across each of the FAANG companies?

From talking to students at multiple M7 schools, it seems like all of the BB/MBB/FAANG companies recruit at most if not all of the schools . So if you're planning on recruiting for one of these, is there really a major difference in career opportunities between each school? Asking because it seems like some schools are specifically known for finance vs consulting vs tech, but if the companies are all recruiting at all these schools, the differences don't seem as pronounced to me.

Next week FAANG earnings begin with NFLX and following 2 weeks all the big boys go. Are earnings going to be catalyst for next leg up or next leg down? I don’t think better than expected works anymore like it did in the summer.  One thing to note though all the major tech companies but Apple are trading below where they did at Q3 earnings.

I'm trying to switch from consulting to product management. Is it possible to make the switch directly or would I need to go to business school? Are any FAANG companies keen on PMs with a consulting background? Are there any courses or books that could help me make the switch? I've been seeinga lot of ads Product School for instance. Is that a better value substitute for business school?

Sorry for the question overload lol. Thanks in advance for your help 🙂

People who are long FAANG, do any of the government lawsuits coming worry you(antitrust/monopoly, content, etc) as a long term shareholder? I figure most of these tech companies may get a slap on the wrist but understand the risks. Heck, most of these senators are invested in these companies and are they really going to break up companies like Amazon & Facebook? Seems like they would establish an extremely dangerous precedent
