Just had an interview with Netflix and at some point I mentioned “GAFA” (even joking that it’s probably GAMA now) and completely forgot they’re in FAANG 😬

Will this be one of those moments I remember when going to bed for the rest of my life? Yes.

Netflix pays more.

If I was a Netflix employee and an interviewee did this I would honestly be shocked lol. Faang is is like one of the most common terms out there

And if you want to impress, then it’s MANGA 😎

So I've had 2 hiring managers and several recruiters from Amazon reach out to me about applying for some open positions with the company (android).
