Define FAANG.

Facebook, Apple, Amazon, Netflix, and Google employ <1M engineers in the US. There are 4.4M engineers in the US.

That does not change the point that most of the engineers earning insane salaries are working for FAANG

There are 4.4M engineers in the US, but almost all of them make far less than the one working for FAANG.

Fair point.

I didn't know we were talking exclusively about engineers in the top 5% of pay or so.

I thought this was about engineers in general.
