- decafninja 5y agoI'm in a similar boat, though I am not in a FAANG, but in a company arguably on a similar tier. I agree 100%. If I have any advice for current CS college students, it would be to do everything possible to get into a FAANG or FAANG-like tech company. The monetary compensation speaks for itself, but all of the other non-monetary perks will also contribute to making your future career better, and your daily work more pleasant if not enjoyable. That's not to say FAANG is perfect - no company is. But no matter the ugly warts FAANG and similar companies have, most other companies (especially non-tech companies where tech is an unrespected cost center) are usually worse. Which leads me to my second piece of advice for college students - if you don't or can't make it into FAANG or FAANG-like companies, do everything possible to get into a company where tech is a profit center, or at least respected.
