I have been reading a few articles talking about how FAANG isn’t as lavish as it used to be. My first question is if that is true? If it is true, my second question is what companies out there have the pay, benefits, and perks like FAANG? My last question is if it is as difficult to get into those companies?

I'm almost 37, a woman, and my husband is a house husband and handles absolutely everything at home - your income contribution and general arrangement at home will always vary couple to couple. There is no right answer; just what you guys find works for you. If you're financially stretched, game plan how to fix it as a team.
I'm 35, married for last 3 years and blessed with a baby boy of 1.5 YO.
15YO in banking at mid senior level management with 15LPA, I work, return from the office and feed my child (home cooked food), make him sleep then I sleep.
She has 7 years of experience in HR domain with 4LPA still in her comfort zone not to switch despite the financial stress and 0 contribution in household chores including baby management.
Post delivery I had to look for her and I succeeded within 7 months (she appeared for the interview only as I managed all the job application platforms including mail management).
Maybe I'm seeing one side of the coin but that's it and it really upsets me for not having her involvement in our little family. Life sucks and we continue to live with it because at the end of the day we love them.
35 female here . It’s normal for one person to make different amount than the other however roles in the family should be balanced . You can’t look at it just in a monetary way . Even if she makes less than you and contributes less financially, who takes care of the kids if you have , who takes care of the cooking or getting it sorted , who makes sure cloths you wear are in order , who caters to guests when they are over , who manages the overall well being of the house ?
Even though every household’s dynamics is different, every person is different, I do think that many women do not like to step out of their comfort zone. They make peace with the income they have as they have someone else to depend on if needed . As a wife many think it’s their right to do so . I however don’t think it’s always right . If you expect your man to take care of all or most of the finances, then your contribution should be made elsewhere in the household for example cooking , taking care of the kids , their education etc . Pair upar karke pure din aaraam karne se kuch nahi hota . In our house , I make slightly more than my husband but we contribute equally to household chores , as well as finances . This has never come in between our relationship’s dynamics . We were lucky that way but it can’t be true about everyone’s family .
Can understand. I was somewhat like your wife a few years ago but wasn’t married then . Hardly cared about health and took too much work pressure . It was my own realisation that changed things and when my then boyfriend ( now husband ) used to make suggestions I used to absolutely hate it . The point is you can’t change someone , you can’t make them
We are a team. It’s one pool of money and we make spending decisions together.
