When someone tells me "I'm a software engineer at XYZ", the first thing I ask is - in what team are you in? If your role is to maintain internal web pages or to build random tools for the marketing team then yeah... it doesn't have any meaning. Sure, you still get the benefits of being an employee at XYZ, but it's not super fulfilling. I'd say %30 of developers work on cool things in these companies and the rest of the dev just fill in the blanks. I've worked at a few of the Big-5 and that's what I've observed mostly.
An other thing is - don't get pay by the hour. If you want to maximize your ROI you need to generate passive income there's no other secret. Your day is limited to only a few hours.
