Translation: "I don't (or can't) work for a FAANG, so this kid shouldn't either."

This line of thought is absurd. We have no idea where this individual wants to work, and we're here tearing apart a hypothetical job choice.

Your comment reminds me of "those that can't do, teach". This is just a jaded insult. You know nothing about who you're replying to.

They may not but we’re supposed to reply in good faith, not assume OP is some sort of envious asshole

They’re not the one “translating” (read: re-writing) a comment’s content.

I am the parent and I work at a FAANG now. But I did have a company right out of college (which failed).

FAANG now is a means for saving for my next enterprise, which hopefully will happen very soon.
