Anyone worked at multiple FAANG companies? I’m trying to choose between 2 and can’t decide.

Hi all , need a suggestion. I am currently getting an offer of 40 lpa in India with one of the FAANG companies . The role is not in a fancy team and is okayish.

My company has promised me a transfer to KL Malaysia with a salary of 2,40,000 MYR (~43 lpa) but since I am in consulting , my options would remain open in terms of exit and this can open up South East Asia market for me.

I am confused as to which direction to take. Please let me know your pov in terms of opportunities in SEA, salary

Reading through some possible interview questions for FAANG. One of the ones I've seen on Glassdoor are to design a basic architecture structure for something like Netflix or Twitter or Spotify. I've been researching online using AWS or GCP (still learning all the moving parts of architecture). Any advice on how the setup would be? I'm assuming you'd start with some Load Balancers. For Netflix maybe have different different APIs for signing up vs scrolling through possible movies?

Been Interested in working at a FAANG for the past 5 years. I am a Certified Scrum Master, Agile Coach, and Product Owner. I never see many roles in those areas at most FAANG companies ?? Can someone help me out ? Is it a different title at those companies and are referrals needed ??

Hi Fishes,

Can anyone please suggest me on how to land a Data Engineering job in FAANG+ companies? How should I prepare for this?

Anyone have insight into how taxing works on RSUs. Someone at NVIDA mentioned that their RSUs also get taxed by the company and hance you never actually see the sum total of RSUs awarded to you. Basically, 30% of RSUs awarded get held back as tax. Is this true for FAANG companies, specifically Amazon? TIA

How difficult is a Square interview. i have heard it is different from other companies. Do they ask leetcode and do they ask system design. where would interview difficulty rank among Faang. Same difficulty as amazon or higher?

Are FAANG companies really the place to be for SWE’s? I want to work for one but I’m worried about culture & work/life balance.

Context : planning to interview for FAANG companies and trying to prepare some stories. Can someone help Ideate how I may have done something as big4 consultant : Q1) Any examples of how consultants (technical ones, not strategy) have saved money for their clients and Q2) when you solved a problem through innovation?

Is it wrong that we idolize FAANG? Should the govt intervene in business and privacy?

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.

At what point is it considered optimal to make the jump from Big4 to FAANG? I've been a Tech Consultant at EY for a little under a year and, while I like the company very much, I do very little actual technical work. Experienced hire, Senior, 130k base. I'm very tempted to jump over to Amazon (despite their reputation for frugality). Do I attempt to make the switch now or wait until I get promoted to Manager?

I have heard there is some HR policy that boomerang/ returning employees are taken back on the older salary. Can someone please share more details about the period of applicability and exceptions? Thank you.

Can i travel outside US (not home country) without issues if I have a valid h1visa stamping? Will carry i797 approval too. Just want to know what else is reqd for re entry to us.

Best books about product management for a good exit to industry? I already have an MBA and PMP but looking for a refreshed perspective since it’s been years since my formal education.

How much does BCG / McK / tier 1 consulting firms pay its consultants on an expert track in Dubai office ?

Healthcare Administration master’s degree with only 6 months of professional healthcare experience. Companies are asking for 5 or more years of experience which of course I don’t have.

Should I be alarmed that I haven’t had a conversation with my director in a week +? (Any tips for coming to terms with being laid off for the first time?)

Don’t mind me just sitting in the office in uncomfortable clothes doing absolutely nothing because the firm says we have to have the same schedule as our clients who are currently not giving us any business

I'm seeing a McKinsey Data Science job in DC that requires a TS, does this mean you have to have an active one at the exact level or above or just be eligible? Also, if I could network with some from that office, that would be fantastic.

Honest input request. Recent company role overhaul & total comp package revamp, cutting my 6 figures made last year down by 30k, and they added in support calls + prospecting + team lead. Pay day saw a 2.5k take home drop This month. This helped low performing staff increase their income, and pulled top performing folks like me into the red. Do I have any negotiation points here? Each year I’ve been here earned 23-50% more per year. Other than jumping ship, what are my options?

So I'm guessing this is an only guys bowl?

I do not have a single recognizable company or law firm or school on my resume. I’m from a boutique IP firm and now starting in house at an unknown 3,000 employee company. My dream is to end up as product counsel at F50. Is it possible or is my lack of business pedigree going to hold me back?

Started at meta relativity recently and my hours have been crazy. I can’t tell if this is typical or just my team

Hey everyone welcome to the bowl! I know someone started a thread asking where people worked. Looks like we have some F10 companies so far. If you’re not in the F50. What are you looking to get out of the bowl?

I’ve been negotiating for over 2 weeks now and the whole thing is starting to turn me off. Should I chalk it up to HR bureaucracy or larger company issues?

How did you find your job? LinkedIn? Employee referral?

I had a google referral from privacy counsel for a privacy counsel role that I met all the qualifications for and I didn’t even get a screener. Feeling a bit confused. I just got an offer from another FAANG company but feeling perplexed by this rejection.

It seems like we’ve had many people join from firms today. In the in-house bowl we had a lot of people speaking about F50 who don’t actually work there and the info/advice was often not accurate. If you’re not at an F50 feel free to ask questions but please refrain from commenting on things you don’t have first hand knowledge of so we can avoid the misinformation issues and make this bowl helpful for all
