  What about working for a bank or any other fortune 500

    Their cultures don’t value engineering as highly and thus their engineering cultures tend to be more pathological.

    As gshdg said! You are considered a cost center and not a revenue generator like in a FANG in most retail banks and fortune 500s. Quantitative firms like Jane Street, hedge funds like Citadel or Two Sigma pay well and hire a good amount of engineers. A FANG would have more work life balance and would be more chilled out than these places.

      Couldn’t agree more But if you look at recently companies are catching up by hiring tech talent since they know the real value of technology

        I'd love to see links to jobs by Retail Banks or non-tech Fortune 500s that are paying $200k+ to fresh computer science undergraduates with no formal work experience apart from internships.

          Nope you’ll see exceptions that they hire without a degree but paying 200k compensation to a fresh grad I don’t think so
