The Big Tech Brain Drain Earn Cash Back On Stocks: Up To $5,000 Per Year https://www.silomarkets.com/logic For the longest time, FAANG has been the dream destination for the smartest engineers in the world. FAANG companies not only pay insanely lucrative salaries but they often boast the most interesting and cuttingedge projects. But, more recently, as FAANG approaches market saturation and increasingly cements itself as big tech, salaries are going down and the novelty of their projects is also going down.

This video explains the final evolution of big tech and why the smartest engineers are ditching FAANG in droves.
