Working a at FAANG is not as attractive to most when you don’t know about the issues in the video games industry. There is a reason why FAANG companies pay well and video games companies don’t have to.

I met zero people who told me they dreamed about working in a FAANG since childhood.

Hi, nice to meet you: I dreamed about working in Microsoft since I was 12. Ended up in a different FAANG, but anyway.


haha, yeah, the only reason working in FAANG wasn't my dream is that I never could have dreamed of reaching such lofty heights

Now that I'm here, it's sort of lame, but it's still a lot better than any other jobs I've done..


FAANG = Facebook, Apple, Amazon, Netflix, Google.

Microsoft is not included. So technically you did not dream of working at a FAANG since childhood.


FAANG needs to die as an acronym.


Definitely far from 0 people, I'm half embarrassed to admit I wanted to join cisco when I was not even in collage.


Try IBM.


Hello. I used to want to work at a company like Google when I was younger.


Microsoft owns Xbox and a multitude of game studios…


Most insightful comment of the day. :)


(Between those two comments, Microsoft bought Activision Blizzard)


I know a bunch, but I also grew up in the Bay Area…


Possibly the first generation of kids whose Dads worked at FAANG
