- AkshatM 6y agoUsually some subset of Facebook, Amazon, Apple, Microsoft, and Google So Big 5, really, but I feel Apple is usually omitted because its primary focus is consumer hardware and the software is usually an ancillary product.
- eastbayjake 6y agoUsually "Big Four" refers to the 4 largest accounting firms: Deloitte, EY, KPMG, PWC.[1] If it's referring to tech, that's an odd/confusing usage when "FANG" is so prevalent for the same concept but explicitly for tech.

- lazyasciiart 6y agoIn my experience, the vast majority of people in tech are completely unaware of the accounting usage. I only know it because my two siblings work for two of them.
