What linked current Big Tech was early entrants into adtech and the related money-printing machine. Now they are just large advertising platforms that do something to attract users and user data. I think under similar logic, if you want to work for those companies for comp/prof development, it’s probably whatever next money printer is building out. IMO this is probably AI, next-gen adtech that keeps the technology going post-GDPR etc (platform plays like FAANG or great user enumeration companies in the open ecosystem, although a lack of a non-obvious adtech product might limit the growth and prestigious of these types) maybe some top cybersecurity vendors if the problems get worse and regulations get serious, maybe defense tech (second gen ones following what Palantir did).
