I wouldn't idolize FAANG too much. Sincerely, one of the 100k+ FAANG engineers in the world.

  > one of the 100k+ FAANG engineers Right, but 100k FAANG engineers is like the top 1% of engineers worldwide.

    Perhaps by pay scale. Definitely not by talent/productivity.

      I'm pretty sure anyone able to pass a FAANG interview is well within the 1% of talent for our industry. Those things are brutal.

        The interviews are brutal. But they don't consistently identify talent. I know a lot of people at all of them and turn down interviews nearly constantly (Apple is the only one I've considered - the rest violate my ethical standards. And I'm not going to commute to Cupertino). There's a lot of deadweight at these companies.
