I think FAANG is more often used as a career benchmark, i.e. working at Netflix looks good on your resume and pays well.


It's just because FANG (don't think Apple was originally part of it) was a list of fast-growing stocks, coined by none another than Mad Moneyman Jim Cramer

Quite honestly that term in both stock and big tech senses is outdated. It should really include a few post-unicorn giants like Uber nowadays.


I’ve seen FAANGMULASS a couple of times.
