They represent the "dream jobs". Similar to how Ivy League is supposed to be the best schools. It's not necessarily precise, but they're all solid engineering culture and top tier pay. I think in the end, it's a title. Many don't get a FAANG job because it's the best job, you get it to put it on your résumé, then apply for your real ambitions. For some, landing a job at FAANG is the endgame, sort of like winning an Olympic gold medal. Being a title, there's going to be a lot of questioning on the validity of the title. MindGeek engineers probably deal with the same technical challenges as someone at Netflix, but you don't see people bragging about how they work at MindGeek.
