> FAANG, for any reasonable definition of success, you've made it

Is it? I've never heard that about Amazon, for instance. At Google or Facebook or whatever sure but the fact that they're using the acronym and not the company implies Amazon to me.



Amazon is still good enough to all but guarantee a great career. Even if you get fired plenty of lower tier companies would gladly take you in.


They might be using the acronym for anonymity.

If your company finds out that you hate it and want to quit, you will likely find your head is about to roll. I had a close call with this once. Then I learned that the company doesn't really want people to be honest and candid, that's it's just one of the traps they put in their policies.
