Most companies are average to above average pay. FAANG's are an aberration, not the norm.


But they employ a lot of software engineers. Amazon employs ~150,000 if I remember right.


Nit: With some companies paying below average, too, by the very definition of the term 'average', and also because the sizeable handful of FAANG companies skews the average even higher.
