Why not consider companies that are not FANG? FANG is just 4, you can check with each. I believe you will have to be tied to some existing local office for HR reasons. Of course, there are always exceptions people whisper about, but I suppose you need to be exceptional for a manager to push for that. It is definitely not the norm.

I think it's more than 4, there are definitely more companies with similar compensation (eg. I would consider Microsoft part of FANGs).

Thanks a lot for the info about this being something exceptional!

Ok, if it’s not a fang who do you recommend? At least some examples would be nice if you think it’s a good alternative

Hashicorp is equipped to employ with robust global coverage. Have some colleagues there, no other affiliation.

Hashicorp does not pay anywhere near FAANG last I heard.
