Microsoft is not FAANG, at least not part of the acronym i was strictly referring to.
The world needs a search engine, but the moment a new, competent, one pops up all you need to do is switch a URL and you are done with google. All other services google provides are replaceable.
Amazon is a cool marketplace, infested by scams and low quality products, an alibaba of the west. It is an integral part of the economy by I manage to do just fine without it. AWS is a wake up call away from trending out of fashion.

- wollsmoth 4y agoMicrosoft isn't FAANG because they generally pay a bit lower. But they're still a worldwide powerhouse. Windows is extremely popular, and so is their office suite. You just can't license osx on non-apple machines and linux options are just not as popular yet.
- yrgulation 4y agoMicrosoft, even if i don't much like their products, are a grown-up company. That's probably why they haven't gone crazy with pay, which is still decent.
