I gave interview in Amazon and cleared all the rounds , then went on hold and still on hold due to hiring freeze in that departement. HR does respond and update me when reached out.
Interesting thing which happened here is iam cracking each every product based interviews now after my tough preparation for Amazon and getting higher packages than what Amazon would give. So whatever happens , happens for good. Cheers Amazon
Don't be sad that you couldn't get through a FAANG 🤙
How much would my tech stack and language be a factor in getting selected in faang or good product based companies?

no but can I have the one you don’t take
At a different FAANG company but seems hands down google is the answer. Mostly because you don’t have to say you work at Meta
You might get more relevant answers if you share which 2 companies you’re deciding between.
SC1 hesitation is comp and also the type of work. G1 thanks for the feedback
Pros for Google:
- Better culture
- Better WLB (generally)
- Better comp for 3-7 YOE (evens out around CC/SCC level)
- Monthly stock vesting (compared to quarterly at Meta)
Pros for Meta:
- Quicker promos
- Lots of management roles (and ability to manage earlier in career)
- Stock refreshers for year 1 (no Noogler y1 refresher at Google)
- Higher ratings multipliers for top performers (this year was 1.25x, 2x, 3x for Meta, and 2023 will be 1.25x, 1.65x, 2.5x compared to 1.2x, 1.4x, 1.6 at Google)
One other pro for Google: Google has a wide and varied range of different businesses, so there are many opportunities for internal transfer if you want to try something different down the road
Are the rest of the FAANG (Amazon, Apple, Netflix) just seen as a step below in terms of both TC and WLB? That seems to be the consensus view in these discussion forums but curious if there are other thoughts to the contrary.
If so, seems like it should then be FG as a first tier and then NAA as a second tier.
Coach
My impression is that Apple is on the lower end comp wise but the higher end WLB-wise.
For Netflix, Google and read their publicly available culture presentation. The reputation I’ve heard from inside the industry is that senior people go there to bust hump and make extra bank for a few final years before retiring. Great pay, terrible environment for most people.
