F and G are off my list because they're detrimental to society and individuals. G offered me hundreds of thousands of dollars, any department, and to design my own role, but I turned them down for the 8th time.
Apple and Amazon are wobblers depending on what type of role, the impact you're trying to have, and the benefits vs. harm you think they make.
Netflix is essentially harmless because they're a TV and movie store.
It's very tempting to go for the big salary and benefits package, but then having to rationalize, normalize, or compartmentalize the fact that the business makes billions at the expense of harming society. It should ultimately make the employee feel guilty if they're honest and paying attention, but should give pause if it doesn't.
If I could make a steadier living (enough clients with periodic, on-going needs) at SRE/DevOps tech and management consulting, I would never work for any company other than my own.
Younger people should consider working for large organizations to get immersed in that field if they're looking to go the consulting or related enterprise startups route later.
What the heck is your problem and why the personal attacks?
I was discussing my take on the aspect of FAANG, and why saying "they're all bad" is silly.
You don't know anything about me. I was homeless for 8 years and paid my way through school by working. It took me 10 years to graduate, and I had to go back and forth because there was no continuous offering of requisites courses and money was tight.
Maybe you're projecting and should consider glass houses and such? I hope your life is Oreos and you had nice parents, because mine were shit. It's too bad you're unable to have positive conversations and have to jump straight to prejudice and negative behavior.
I wish you good health, empathy, and better curiosity in the future.
The way so many new to this industry, or never able to measure up, ooze over FAANG just shows how uninspired, unskilled, unoriginal and sheeplike they actually are. Anyone with actual chops can stand by their convictions for a better world. Few do, which keeps these companies sucking the lifeblood out of the universe. But yeah, keep thinking it's just an entitled opinion. Just like climate change. Just like any change...
