well now wait a minute - if you put in a part at the bottom of the resume:

"After my astounding work at places that were not Amazon, Facebook, and Google I believe I am able to meet any challenge head on"

I think it might actually increase your number of contacts based on some recruiter with a keyword match script bringing you up.

Agreed. Not all, but many companies that are very large use automated systems for screening resumes. Any FAANG listed in a resume will certainly get flagged by a system.
Just like non-ECC RAM in product search results... I really don't want to stoop that low or have anyone else stoop that low.
to be clear my observation that stooping will have results beneficial to the stooper does not on my part serve as a recommendation to stoop.
