People always say FAANG but I rarely see mentions of Netflix...is it just because it’s a handy acronym?

Don’t really want to take out the N here

I’m voting for the following solution: switch Netflix for tesla. After google converted to alphabet we would only need an R... company to get a perfect acronym: FAAART.
Sorry for the childish humor, but I would really appreciate that Acronym all over the financial newspapers.

What does FAANG even stand for?

Facebook, Apple, Amazon, Netflix, google.

It’s because it’s much harder to get a job at Netflix.They only take the best of the best (for SWEs at least)

Netflix is a tier or two above FB/ Goog both on terms of difficulty to get in and total comp.

@C3 basic supply demand I believe. Netflix hires the best for each role and only looks at senior candidates. As a result they have way fewer roles open at any point in time. They are also more willing to pay top of the band than FB or Goog.

They also ask people to leave for under performing at higher rates than other tech firms. It's a very open and sometimes brutal culture.

My proposed solution is FANTA: Facebook Amazon Netflix Tesla Apple.

Might I also suggest WANTA: Walt Disney, Adobe, Nike, Target, American Express.

Without the N it’s a slur.

Netflix has lead the way in massive infrastructure automation. I could argue much of how the cloud is shaping out is due to their demands as a customer.

Just a reminder that outside our bubble no-one really cares about firm prestige etc.
