You Should Never Work At FAANG as a faang engineer

Gov contractors pay better than faang

the problem is for ppl who live in those expensive area and not getting FAANG salary LOL

Videos like this remind me that intelligent ppl aren't infallible lol. No disrespect but exaggerations about San Francisco prices, ($500 apartment is NOT going to be $4000 in SF, $2000 - $2300 more likely). 401k IS unequivocally a good investment. Lastly paying health insurance yourself is NOT equivalent at all to paying taxes because #1 it literally only benefits yourself as opposed to benefiting everyone. Phew

Everything in Tokyo is super expensive... except for rent which is absurdly cheap, and actually makes in extremely at the end of the day.

I wanted to move to the US to work, calculated the tax rate is about the same as where I'm from except I also have to pay for health insurance.

Yes, we all pay for 'medical', but an efficient system not designed to maximise profits will always be cheaper.

Tbh - in Poland for Faang salary, that is offerred in Poland - facebook just recently was recruting for $ 8-16k a month, in province you could afford that house on a mortgage (even though Poland has the most expensive mortgages in europe) :D, even though houses here are very unaffordable on our salaries - they are still way cheaper than in Cal or Florida, and water and food here are way better (also really cheap private health care - intenstine cancer treatment costed me 12k PLN or - around 3k$ whole, I've had to go private as for public I would have to wait for a year until I would be able to even get a doctor's appointment)

Bro you’re smart as hell and understand data you have to know that the US healthcare system is woefully inefficient. It’s not free elsewhere but we pay more for healthcare here by far. I spent a lot of time in Canada and the sales tax is annoying but far less annoying than being at a company with shit benefits or god forbid trying to get insurance to cover somethinf

we do pay for medicals, of course, it's just not that expensive and in most Euro countries you'll get piss poor medical service :/

you've become my new favorite tech-tuber 😂👏

I never hire someone that spends more time on their resume picture then the skills they should develop XD

How dare you spit in the face of .NET D:

Prime justifying paying $1000/mo for medical by making fun of a strawman argument nobody made about others paying nothing for medical was the true Murica moment.

Ohio mentioned

401k is a big W when you get to taxes lol. Especially if are near the next tax brack.

MAMAAN, as in my man. Meta, Apple, Micro$oft, Alphabet, Amazon, Netflix.

Actually, the pricing for medical stuff in the US is artificially inflated, so in other parts of the world, it can actually be a lot less expensive and still be better than it's in the US.

Probably the worst advice i've seen you give, "401k aint that great". 99% of investors fail to beat the actual market over 30 years. Invest in your 401k boys n girls.

mamfaang

Like for the 401k take

I joined one of the big tech companies in Australia (FAANG adjacent, many former google at the company) and I ended up leaving to join a startup in short order. Much prefer to be the big fish in a small pool than a tiny cog in the machine.

When Microsoft keeps trying to be counted as FAANG, I assume it is a Microsoft or former employee

The name? It's the FAANGAGEN. 🫵

dude -the inverse cramer fund. Its also crazy considering the timespan this investment is over. Like ... impossible to lose money when market is across the board seeing massive gains right? nope - ask cramer.

A sign-on bonus is usually the difference between what you ask, and what the employer is willing to pay. The strings attached are that you'll have to pay it back if you leave within a year or two, and you don't have the same compensation the following years.

Oh you've definitely seen Left-To-Right (LTR), but it's Right-To-Left (RTL) that you probably haven't...

Out of this video what stood out the most to me was the fucking "unicorn companies" thing. God I fucking hate this terminology. It's so fucking cringe. First heard it at my own company's all-hands meeting, then more recently we've apparently moved on to wanting to be a fucking centaur... What next? A dragon? A phoenix? The fucking tooth fairy?

Other countries don't have middle men who drive medical prices up for their CEO's paycheck and stock holders shares.

This is a grown man btw

Instantly deboonked on the house

@primeagen Although people in places like the EU do pay taxes for their healthcare, it doesn't cost the same, the US healthcare system is insanely expensive, and you get comparatively little for a lot of money.

In europe we pool taxes into something called a budget, then allocate part of that to healthcare, since the pool is huge we get lower costs for pills and the like, its called bulk buying and economies of scale.

In the UAE we don’t pay tax and we get medical 😹

It's MAANA now.

unpopular opinion but I dont want to work for companies that support degeneracy.

isn't FAANG now adays MANGA? 😄

I love COBOL

if you want to learn leadership skills work for fang. if you want to learn advance tech skills do not work for fang

Your clowning is annoying AF

Smaller companies aren't bogged down by bureaucracy

I'll drop Netflix and turn it into GAAF. =P
