>However, if you don't get into a FANG, it's not the end of the world. You might still be able to find another job at another software company if you're lucky. As the years go on, it'll be harder to get job due to the rapidly increasing supply of engineers.
And the great thing about FAANG is that it's only easier to get in as you gain more experience. You're not screwed if you don't get in as a new grad or junior.
- opportune 7y agoKind of, but if you want to have the highest comp at a certain time after graduating, the sooner you join FAANG (or similar places like Airbnb) the better. Because if you join at 10 YOE you will probably be downleveled compared to most people who started out there. Not that it’s a huge deal, but just something to think about.
- bcrosby95 7y agoI don't know about other places, but Netflix is pretty good at bumping your pay rapidly. A friend of mine that was working in education went to Netflix. He started at around 180k and hit 350k by a year then over 500k just another year later. After a total of only about 5 years he's making close to 1mil.
- uwuhn 7y agoOh definitely, but at least you're not completely shut out.
