MSFT is no longer the company that just cranks out a new rev if Windows every couple of years. They have become a massive player in services and cloud with Azure.

Microsoft is probably better than atleast one FAANG member, namely Netflix. It is also in the Quattro Comma club.

^ Bschool classmate is there. I’m pretty sure it’s working it better for him than consulting is for me. He was in some sort of leadership development program. He is now an account exec for multiple government agencies which I think is pretty cool.

Netflix is only in FAANG anymore because of the fun acronym. Microsoft is the 5th company (in no particular order).

I am in a tech IC position. One of friends switched to FAANG by converting the profile to consultant profile. The friend who might have less tech knowledge than me is now in FAANG and earning more. If the end goal would be that the friend might one day be a product manager and me an engineering manager taking instructions from the same friend, isn't consultant profile an easier path to growth. I had been practising DSA for years and the competition is only ever growing.
