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

It’s obvious MS and any other company that compensates similarly is included when stating “FAANG”, but throwing an M or other letter in there is going to make it harder to roll off the tongue.
It 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.

You could bikeshed including or excluding particular companies forever. Probably not useful to do.

Is it important to include every company’s initial? The purpose is to convey the idea of companies that have extremely good cash flow, and can compensate extremely well with equity due to consistent long term growth. It’s obvious MS and any other company that compensates similarly is included when stating “FAANG”, but throwing an M or other letter in there is going to make it harder to roll off the tongue.
Then why is faang.io using a strict definition of FAANG? I think a loose definition is preferable, but clearly that's not a universally-held opinion.
Apple 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.
