Most people joining Google or FAANG is not for the brand. It is for the financial compensation. If <insert FAANG company here> doesn’t pay almost double the market salary then majority of people won’t work for that company. It is futile to ask people not to work for a FAANG company. The reality is, majority of people need (not just want) the money. People who already worked at FAANG long enough to enjoy the benefit of being financially good can afford to quit or don’t work for FAANG, or don’t work at all. Can non FAANG tech companies follow suit in increasing the salary? I mean, keep your interview DS&A hard and make it harder if you need to avoid bad hire, but increase the compensation too. Otherwise you will keep seeing major brain drain every year.
