What is FAANG? Discussions

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?

I’ve seen some of this info piecemealed across FB threads but would love to have it in one place

Is it possible FAANG will undergo massive changes due to regulation in the next couple of years? Recruiter reached out for Facebook but I'm not sure

Editing my cv for FAANG strategy roles (specifically Google and Facebook).
Any tips on what to emphasise?
Mckinsey + IB background with LBS EMBA; South African so would need that visa sponsership.

If I take a job at Amazon in India, is it considered as prestigious to FAANG companies as Amazon in Silicon Valley?

What FAANG companies have the most positive bosses/encouraging work environment?

Has anyone ever had two W-2 jobs at two different FAANG companies at the same time? Were there any company policies against it?

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.

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

Question to the bowl -

I am working in Deloitte PMO Analyst with cumulative work ex 2.5 years. I want to move to Program Management in FAANG. But for all the posts I see work ex is more than 3 years with an MBA. So, Should I go for an MBA first or should I apply for the same roles. I am mainly aiming Amazon.

Do FAANG companies move employees to different locations very much? I'm not sure how common or voluntary it is to be relocated if I work at one.

Will start applying to SWE jobs in the next few weeks. What non-FAANG companies should I be considering? 4 YOE, looking for backend positions, want to optimize for learning and WLB.

How many weeks does the interview process take at FAANG companies?

How many levels of interviews are there at FAANG companies and what are they?

How does Facebook hiring freeze/waitlist work?

I've learned that there's a hiring freeze for E4 at Facebook.
People who're on the waitlist, how are they selected and when do you think the hiring freeze will be lifted?

Am looking at exit opportunities and researching FAANG. Curious to understand why anyone would join Amazon which has the worst benefit of the FAANG? Can anyone share what’s better at Amazon that I am not aware of? Amazon and Facebook on sites lined up in January! So researching now!;)

Are there any FAANG companies that hire full-time remote employees who would remain that way after the pandemic?

I am looking for any recruitment agencies that place (sr. manager /Director level candidates in amazon Or FAANG and tech firms. Please share If you have worked with any particular recruiter in the past and you liked working with them.

For "senior" roles at FAANG, does the title correlate well between the companies? Unlike the discrepancies we see between consulting firms?
I see widely varying YOE in the job descriptions (more team dependent than company dependant) but I'm not sure how faang companies perceive each others' titles. Data science if it matters.

If you've worked at multiple FAANG companies, what's your secret?

How early is too early to leave Amazon? I haven't worked at FAANG before.

MBB folks with ~4 YOE pre mba, what kind of industry roles at Non FAANG companies are you exiting to and how much TC?

Any success stories involving movement from pwc to faang?? In particular apple?

Is it worth it to go back to school for a better track to a FAANG company? The division I’m currently in seems like there are no good opportunities, and I have the funds available to finish my undergraduate full time (Canada). I applied to Amazon before for a highly senior position and made it to final interview so I think I would have a better chance for a new grad type role.

I'm looking for a new challenge. I've already worked at FAANG companies (though not all), and I'm fairly senior. What's a good next step for me?

Is it possible to land a PM job at FAANG (excluding Amazon) without prior PM or technical background?

Would any of you choose Amazon over other FAANG or even tier 2 tech? all my friends working there hate it and seems like comp lags behind other FAANG unless you account for stock appreciation.

I got an offer for an L5 role at Amazon Web Services and for a senior role from a non-FAANG company. I'm excited to get into management at AWS but have heard a lot of negative things. Not sure what's the best choice.

Probably a dumb question, but with tech, how did we come up with FAANG? What separates them from companies such as Airbnb, Snapchat, Microsoft, etc.? Some make sense, but the Netflix one is what is holding me up....

For people working for FAANG (amazon delivery driver & Apple store genius), do they get 100k RSU for 4 years?

4YOE @Amazon & trying to lateral to a similar role @FAANG. Have my undergrad GPA (3.8/4) on resume from top 15 school but colleague says to take it off (looks silly). If it’s a good school & high GPA, why ever take it off your resume? Even if 10 YOE...can’t hurt?

What’s generally standard among FAANG companies for offer acceptance once one is extended? If anyone has experience with this, is it one week or is it more flexible? I am trying to schedule final onsite with two companies and hoping I can get timing to line up (in the event I am fortunate enough to have offers).

Meeting with a recruiter at one of the FAANG companies. I won’t be able to move jobs because of H1b /GC at least for the next year. Any idea if I should start off with that or should I just try to understand the work that they have been doing?

How easy is it to move between groups at FAANG? Example, moving from AWS to Amazon Music, or moving from Google to YouTube? TIA!🙌🏼

Is there any resources that can help@with FAANG prep? Got dinked by Amazon and Google after the virtual onsite. Down on morale and thinking of reapplying in 6 months. Pivoting from SAP to program manager role in analytics.

I'm making $135K in SF, working for Apple through an agency (so no equity or bonuses). 9 YoE. After checking blind and some other sites, I feel like I could be making a lot more...

Any tips? I've heard from some FAANG recruiters recently but don't know how much to ask for so I haven't responded. Don't know shit about money :(

My portfolio is mostly sites (campaign/e-comm/web apps) and now design system stuff if that helps.
