These companies really don't need any additional attention. (I say this as a fan of most of them.) As a "startup guy," I'd strongly suggest looking elsewhere unless you have a spouse and 3 kids and really need those FAANG bennies
or a husband?

My startup offers better benefits than any of those, and better salary, with the caveat that we're pre IPO/exit/whatever so you can't turn around and sell the vested stock immediately like you can at those companies.
Point is: not all startups have non comparable benefits.

#43I still find it strange that tech people adopted FAANG as a term. Including Apple and Netflix but not Microsoft still boggles my mind.
I remember a scant five or so years ago the term that was used was "Big 4", referring to Google, Facebook, Amazon, and one one of either Twitter, Microsoft, or Apple.
Now Apple is firmly a member of the club, Twitter seems completely rejected, Microsoft sort of a second tier citizen, and Netflix has joined out of left field.

FAANGMULTAD is the term (meme) you're looking for. M - Microsoft U - Uber L - Lyft T - Twitter A - AirBnB D - Dropbox
I think it should be FAANGMULTAD+ to be more inclusive of other, maybe overlooked high growth tech startups.

#45Earlier quoted context omitted.
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.
> It’s obvious MS and any other company that compensates similarly is included when stating “FAANG” 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. https://www.levels.fyi/
Yes, but I figured MS compensation is more similar to other FAANG companies than non FAANG companies for the purposes of someone looking for a higher paying job.

Great!
Also, you should promote your startup without shame here, but I appreciate the discretion

#48But why though?

#49What is my benefit to give my email and thumbs up/down & details about job post to you? That is, why should I generate information for you for free?
Providing your email will subscribe you to a newsletter that will send you (remote) FAANG job listings.
The upvote/downvote is not entirely wired up at the moment, but the intention is to eventually sort listings similar to that of most content aggregators - by relevance - as opposed to just sorting by date desc.

#50Categorization is necessary for this and also completely missing here.
Currently just a side-project so it's not very feature-rich. Good point though, thanks for the feedback.
