Are salaries at the Big 4 competitive? Why is it so low compared to salaries at FAANG? Honest question

Don't know about others but Deloitte hires a lot more people than FAANG, and the work is often of support related projects (in IT).
FAANG usually hires a small number of people, with very good paycheck because they want to , and can afford to hire the cream and the work is more novel and development related imo.

It's like comparing Apple's to oranges.. So called FAANGs are product based companies.. And big4 offers professional services..

In the long run with FAANG.. You may earn a little more.. But with Big 4 will you go a long way! And even lead your own FAANG... Big 4 doesn't offer u fancy salary but it offers you an experience of a lifetime!

Worked in tcs for 5 years all they offered were peanut 🥜 only showing the so-called big picture. Laid back approach nothing new to learn or enjoy your work. Bootlicking is a part of your job profile if you're interested in getting promoted or else just finish your work. People keep slogging there just for a job stability but where's growth oops here comes bootlicking...😂

Bro if you are passionate about technology at scale it's a no brainer.. pay wise too faang will beat big4 for most people unless you are a partner.
