I got an offer at Apple for a financial analyst role. There were quite a few interviews, for finding the right team, then they offered me $120k in the bay area when I was making a similar amount in MCOL. They also kept stressing that you work a lot and need to be committed to the role. Between the low-ish pay and seemingly high demands, I declined it
Damn. That’s been my dream transition, FA at FAANG. But I guess grass isn’t always greener.

The people in those companies do not respect the rank and file accounts.
I was heavily invested in trying to get faang when I was a audit senior. I had interviewed with google/amazon/meta/uber/stripe and other unicorn startups. I rejected half of them and ended up in big 4 advisory making 200k all-in last year as a new manager (early promo).
Best decision I made i would’ve lost half my stock rsu compensation and slower progression. Straight cash was way better than getting stock at faang this year would’ve lost so much $$$ especially if I joined meta at the top, their offer was 130k with stock all in. My senior advisory offer was 120k and had a 30k bonus when I transferred, then became a manager. Faang is overhyped.
I have heard they expect B4 hours with slightly better pay. But I guess as EY1 stated above, this may not always be the case.
What neither Big4 nor the industry understands, is the message they pass: “we are bad at doing our jobs and staffing our companies, hence the long hours. We don’t invest much in process improvements or development. We don’t want to make this better”
