Interviewing at faang currently. Hoping I get it as it seems more stable than consulting right now.

Lot of headwinds for the consulting industry right now with significant uncertainty with how long it’ll be that way. A stable industry job is not a bad option at all IMO.

Not a geat job maket to be looking as everyone is aware of. Real unemployment is probabaly 20% when May number comes out in 4 weeks. I'would like to transit into a recession proof industry job if I have an opportunity. Best to go through referrals.

Outside of FAANG, what are good large CA-based tech companies that provide good pay, WLB, and culture? DD has great people and WLB, but pay is low and you’re not given the tools and resources to succeed + truly make an impact. Google and Apple are ideal but need backups. Like is Salesforce still good? A company along those lines.

Curious on whether people are thinking about the ethics of their exit company when deciding to move?
