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

Adobe? Yeah that’s forcing for sure.

Look at the five year stock growth, dark horse among the tech companies for sure

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 often forget eBay even exists.

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.
