MAANG - Dream for many people

With technology advancing each day, companies need skilled workforce for its operations. With such enormous market value, comes the value of data generated. Handling data with caution has become one of the priorities of many companies. But when it comes to MAANG, data becomes a weapon.

Patience…. Perseverance…. Acceptance of failure…. is key to cracking big techs.

What's MAANG ?

MAANG is the shortened name for Meta, Amazon, Apple, Netflix & Google. Everyone of us knows how big these companies are and what they offer to their employees. Thus getting into one of these is a dream for many as hiring process is very difficult to crack.

Why MAANG?

Lets understand this in a different way. You are a developer and have good experience over a tech stack. You are currently working some company XYZ who is paying you good and you are decently happy. I hope so…🙂
Then there are MAANG firms, who employ the same developers for only a small increase in compensation but with a plethora of additional benefits and allowances. These extras come in a package known as CTC.
Along with these things what the developer receives is the experience of working with a broad collection of people and having connections. The working environment is also different in MAANG companies ,in-fact they are well known for their work places.
Coming to the question is it really that good ?
To get the answers to this query you can see this video for reference and realise it yourself.

To be honest these things may seem materialistic to someone but when you work you would want to have a wonderful time doing your job. MAANG not only provides these facilities to you but also to your family and some of them do have the option to bring your kids to work as they believe it improves work efficiency.
