Is that because it's actually that different, or because it would mangle the acronym?

It pays dramatically lower than actual FAANG-type companies and has a lower hiring bar to compensate. Senior positions are around half the TC you'd get at Meta.

Amazon and Microsoft are very close in their compensation; in fact they except Meta and Netflix, everyone is very close to each other.

You should check out levels.fyi if you don’t have sources from those companies.

Sorry Amazon worker, but Amazon also doesn’t deserve to be in the FAANG for the exact same reason.

Aye. I've heard MAANGA used.

They're not in the FAANG but you'd better believe they still pay well.

levels.fyi has most of these rough TCO numbers, for big orgs. SF firms pay the most but you're also paying $5900/month for an apartment with a reasonable commute in the Bay Area, and greater Seattle ain't that crazy yet.

The M in MANGA is an update from Facebook to Meta
