#2Apple is a weird outlier here. Do people consider working at Apple the same as working at a FANG? From my experience and talking with people in the field, it's not really the same league, neither in work-life balance, pay, benefits, etc.

#4It seems like this is US only, I initially thought the search functionality was broken when it showed no jobs in London (UK).
Is there a technical limitation as to why this has been kept US centric, if so this should be reflected in the website heading to prevent confusion and wasted time.

#5I still find it strange that tech people adopted FAANG as a term. Including Apple and Netflix but not Microsoft still boggles my mind.

The term "FAANG" is about prestige (originally stock growth) more than actual quality of life.

Apple's reputation is for relatively poor work-life balance, plus living under a heavy shroud of secrecy even internally is tiring.
But like any huge company, "it depends".

#8I got kicked off of Blind, but my favorite meme there was all the variations of FAANG that were more inclusive, I liked FAANGMULA and TARANTULA
What are people saying there now?

It was wall street
on Blind people take the meme to another level, to be more inclusive

#10I don't know if this will be particularly useful. The problem with job applications is that they're flooded with crap so there's a noise issue. The way to cut through that noise is to understand that you need to extend your candidacy via someone inside the organization who has a vested interest in moving you forward.
That person is a referrer and/or a recruiter. Without either of those two participating in some way shape or form in this kind of an idea, I'm afraid it isn't going to be terribly useful for candidates.
