Apple is in FAANG. For some reason (likely related to 2015-17 era SWE compensation) FANG just includes Netflix (with amazon facebook and google) and not Apple.

I mean the actual companies that go into these acronyms are generally arbitrary but AFAIK it was Facebook-Apple-Netflix-Google as companies with rapid growth/decent profitability during that period.

So are cushy military jobs. But some people have morals.
