What he mentions about big financial companies (where software are for internal workflows) that is the life, and there are many of them and they are usually big employers.

About FAANG/MAANG, I have seen brilliant college toppers mucking around with html tags (but not able to get them right).
High salaries to a lot of software worker is a joke indeed.
