> Or an engineer at FAANG+M? There's literally millions of us
“Software and Web Developers, Programmers, and Testers”, total, in the US are under 2 million, and FAANG+M are a small fraction of that. FAANG+M is around 1 million total employees, but most of that is Amazon, non-software.
The idea that there are millions of FAANGN+M software engineers is simply nowhere close to true.
Do you like upper middle class better? No, they're not flying private jets but unless they're right out of school with a lot of debt they're probably pretty comfortable.
