Boy, am I the only one who thinks working at FAANG is pretty great and worth the time practicing the interview?

The compensation is much better. The management is much better. The work life balance is much better.

I moved from SEA. Everything is worse there.

I read this and feel like people have unrealistic standard. FAANG isn't good enough? Working there for a year probably put your wealth of life at 0.1% of the world. That's not good enough?

That's why people join unicorns. All the comp and potential equity upside of FAANG, less bureaucracy, greater urgency, more sexy work or technologies.
