Thanks! This is fair and useful criticism. I will update the post.

In the case of the particular person I originally wrote this for he wasn't looking at FAANG, and my impression is that most large companies are not competitive with them. In your experience, is that part still accurate?

I think household name internet companies that aren't FAANG per se will still offer competitive compensation and work life balance. I mean here places like Twitter, LinkedIn, Square etc. judging from my last job search and conversations with people in my network. Working at a large bank or non-tech f500 will probably be a different experience for an individual contributor.

I know there are some aggregators like comp.fyi if you want to take a closer look at some self-reported data.
