When you say non-FAANG how do you define it? Technically, the initials each stand for one company so do you mean are there jobs at any company besides those five which fit said criterion?
The only true way to find out is to start talking to recruiters or getting offers.
- el_benhameen 5y agoTotally, that's a fair point. I guess I'm asking this question to try to crowdsource the info more quickly than I can get it from recruiters. By non-FAANG, I guess I mean some combination of: 1. Companies your uncle might not have heard about (by this I mostly mean not AirBnB or Uber) 2. As an extension of #1, probably b2b 3. Headcount somewhere in the 20-150 neighborhood 4. Probably something established, not seed-stage or a venture rocketship 5. Somewhat less onerous interview processes. I don't mind fun algo and design problems, but I would rather not have to prep for 4 months to have speed leetcode thrown at me for 8 hours This is all just off the top of my head, though. And I know that all 5 in one company is a lot to ask for.
- softwarebeware 5y agoGot it! Given those criteria, my personal feeling is that it would only be possible in Silicon Valley, New York, or Seattle, but it may not be that base salary is at least $200k for senior-level. Moreso that the total compensation would be, particularly in a startup that hasn't gone public yet because the value of the company is speculative.
