Then why is faang.io using a strict definition of FAANG? I think a loose definition is preferable, but clearly that's not a universally-held opinion.

That is a good point, I guess I'm just used to seeing it in discussions where the context is distinguishing companies with high pay and valuable RSUs versus others.

Doesn't MS pay substantially less though? My peers at MS make way less than my peers at Google, Facebook, and the others in FAANG. The only one that kinda sorta underpays is Amazon, but if you consider the stock appreciation they sometimes did better.

Yes, but I figured MS compensation is more similar to other FAANG companies than non FAANG companies for the purposes of someone looking for a higher paying job.
It’s obvious MS and any other company that compensates similarly is included when stating “FAANG”, but throwing an M or other letter in there is going to make it harder to roll off the tongue.
