I’ll concede this point in specialized areas: these companies are able to pay top of band for ML researchers and data scientists. 10 years ago I’d have agreed that G and F had the best. But now, knowing many many engineers who work there, my anecdotal and very subjective assessment is that they don’t exactly demonstrate an advantage. Especially if the task is pure ( non leetcode ) development of a software product, I would even go so far as to say they’re at a distinct disadvantage.
