- redisman 7y agoI always thought Big 4 was because they were basically the top 4 biggest market cap companies in the US
- dvlat 6y agoI’m not sure if Netflix ever had market capitalization higher tahn Microsoft
- beefalo 7y agoThe term was coined by Jim Cramer as the group of well performing tech stocks
- stu2b50 6y agoI'm pretty sure it was stock based. For one, Netflix is like, completely different than the rest. They only hire senior engineers and basically substitute a talent pipeline with giant wages. FAANG internships always sounded weird, considering, y'know, Netflix doesn't do internships.
- ma2rten 6y agoI think Netflix is just in there because FAANG sounds cool.
