Because FAANG is no more the place that it used to be. We all grew up.

FAANG is my dream and I will get their soon. The problem is that they take too much time to finalize a candidate.

big companies can't move fast! So there's no point in comparing how it was previous and then crying. When things get bigger, there needs to be more people. When employees increase, there will be issues.

Or else, every employee should wholeheartedly work for 10-12 hours every day. Most people go for the pay and brand and not to work fully.

I wanted to join (and even got an offer from Google) because of the brand. I didn't join, and probably won't, because of the pay. I was offered 26% less than what I was making before just because I got laid off in my previous role. PhonePe gave me 32% hike on my previous.

How are you comparing the pay? That doesn’t make sense

  1. Tough interview process. Needs to be a leetcode monkey.
  2. Getting into FAANG is luck. You might be good at leetcode and system design but you can still get rejected.
  3. If the person wants to climb the promotion ladder fast. Need to put in lots of work. Growth depends on luck as well.

Got rejected in the screening round itself 2 times at Google and one time at Amazon 2 years back. But now when I talk to PPL who works in Big4 they are disinterested in applying to FAANG because of the recent firing spree from the last 2 years. They are ready to compromise the big pay check for the job security and that's why they are continuing in the mid level organizationas
