Coinbase announces it will slow down hiring

I think it's the opposite thinking at Microsoft: they see here an opportunity to change their reputation as "the forgotten FAANG", not even in the acronym because it doesn't pay as well as the SV companies.

The MAAGMATENN ms, aapl, adobe, goog, meta, amzn, twttr, eBay, netflx, nvidia.

Ok that’s just forcing it.

Drop an A for an E and you could have MANAGEMENT, everyone already knows about the great pay there!

The stock is good sure, but I always figured that FAANG was more about their reputation as employers than it was about their reputation as an investment.

I think it's the opposite actually. I remember FAANG being used as a reference to hot stocks.

Investopedia seems to claim the same: https://www.investopedia.com/terms/f/faang-stocks.asp

Personally speaking, I do not go to companies for clout but I'm also not interested in bragging to other engineers in the form of xGoog xUber etc

I go for the stock price because those RSUs are my retirement plan.

I know some people there who are payed very well and ride the shuttles from the same pick up spot the FAANG buses pick up from in SF, near Castro.

Facebook is Meta but Google isn't Alphabet?

    Just hired a man, put the idea inside his head
    Pulled the trigger, now his career's dead.
    MAAMA! Funding had just begun,
    but now my crypto has gone and blown it all away.

Or knowing Amazon, they'll probably revert theirs.

granted, if I had large amounts of capital in the bank but competitors are laying off talent, I'd snap them up in a jiffy...
