> I would imagine if someone could get a job at a FAANG they'd have a job at a FAANG.

Why would you imagine that? Plenty of highly skilled people do not hold a FAANG job up as some kind of holy grail of jobs.

The context is that the OP is saying they make $72K, and someone is responding "just work at Google", which is disturbingly out of touch.

I didn't say "just work at google" like anyone can - I'm saying based on what I've read of OPs bio, they can get a job there. How do I know? Because I've conducted thousands of interviews and sat on hiring committees at multiple of the FAANG companies.
