wait why is it different in work-life balance

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".

It’s a shame because Apple has some of the more interesting faang jobs I’ve seen (personal opinion ofc) but I just continuously see negative things about it from relatively poor pay, to forcing people to give up their side projects to requiring cult like obsession with the company.

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

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.

Doesn't MS pay substantially less though? My peers at MS make way less than my peers at Google, Facebook, and the others in FAANG. The only one that kinda sorta underpays is Amazon, but if you consider the stock appreciation they sometimes did better.

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?

How did you get kicked off Blind? The standard for discourse there is uhh aggressive and inflammatory to put it lightly. Not to say there isn't value (there are tons of really intelligent and helpful people on the forum) but I wonder how far you have to go to get removed.

you get kicked off for not having an email address from a target company

> It’s obvious MS and any other company that compensates similarly is included when stating “FAANG” 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.

That is a good point, I guess I'm just used to seeing it in discussions where the context is distinguishing companies with high pay and valuable RSUs versus others.

Not a fan of the acronym at all, its been misused a lot. However, if there's a website out there that allows me to apply do multiple job listings in one click that'd be awesome. Imaging having to go through a variety of ATS like workday. Not to mention, often times, the info within the same company isn't reused. I'd be sold if all of that was taken care of with a single click.
