FAANG Loses Edge in High-Paid Tech Jobs

Big tech companies like Facebook, Amazon, Apple, Netflix, and Google (FAANG) are no longer the top employers for high-paid tech jobs.

Instead, AI startups and other companies are offering better pay and career opportunities.

In the US, companies like Anthropic, OpenAI, and xAI are leading in pay.

In India, companies like Stripe, Airbnb, and Databricks are among the top employers.

FAANG companies still have many employees in India, but other sectors like banking, manufacturing, and healthcare are also hiring tech professionals.

Entry-level tech jobs are becoming harder to find, and fresh graduates are advised to look beyond IT services and Big Tech.

AI and machine learning jobs are growing fast in India, with salaries expected to increase by 15-20% each year.

By 2026, over one million AI/ML jobs are expected in India.
