Glad to see people put those others in the list.

Too many people assumed that Microsoft, Oracle, Yahoo, and related companies weren't matching offers and were somehow "worse" to work for.

It was exactly the opposite. They were matching offers, and even poaching engineers from the other FAANGs. Yet they never got any respect.

Matching offers is not the only thing that gets you respect.

Microsoft = asshole company

Oracle = asshole company

Yahoo = cringe company

Many people don't want to work for them, no matter what they are offering.

You're missing out the fact that OP listed those because he wanted it to spell YOMAMA and not because he thinks those companies are FAANG worthy.
