Does anyone consider FAANG to be startups? I'm confused by your comment.
- dinkleberg 5y agoNo, what they are saying is that people present a false dilemma where your options to work are either at a FAANG or at a startup. Most people work at non-FAANG companies. If you're going to do a write-up on relative merits of working at a startup vs a larger company things are going to lean heavily in favor of the FAANG because the overall risk to compensation is much more favorable. But if you compare a startup to a more standard tech company then each side will have more pros and cons.
- ergocoder 5y agoYa, if we compare startups with say Walmart or Bank of America or InfoSys, startups probably win.
- bdcravens 5y agoNo, and I don't think that's the parent is suggesting that. They are saying if you are looking for a challenging, highly rewarding role, FAANG is a better fit than startups.
