It’s what I speak about all the time when ppl speak about tech going to toilet. I’m tech in finance we are struggling to hire at any position.

As a software engineer at Kroger, I feel seen. I do exciting work with really smart and dedicated people. Broad tech rules!

Add government and contractors, e.g. defense. Zero glamour and hype, but paychecks are astronomical at high security clearance levels and super safe

This. I’m a SWE at a large beauty retailer. No issues, no layoffs, and the stock price up.

My dad is a PM at Home Depot and discovered the company is practically disaster proof. When catastrophic events happen people need building supplies

Startup to broad is SUCH a different vibe you go from doing everything 24/7 to basically taking 2 hour lunches

smizz108 :
There’s also a whole sea of late stage startups & medium sized companies, most of which people have never even heard of. TC 280K (I’m at one of these)

would add govtech and bigsaas/b2b in the mix but yeah basically

There are actually tech companies between startups and faang

The risk profile in broad tech is much lower but so is the pay.

tutorhelp9393 :
I feel like it’s somewhat disingenuous to mention the different trade offs without touching on pay differences

wallasbd :
If you’re in FinTech: good pay, low workload, corporate culture

Uh PM at Walmart would easily be just under big tech in terms of competitiveness. More than startups.

Ollie :
It's worth factoring career growth into the risk. 3 years in broad tech where you're not doing much can make a job loss worse than in a startup

zachshxjshbk :
Working outside big tech sounds nice sometimes but it feels like the pay would be a huge decrease

Mmmkay :
There’s also tech consulting, which I think is between the FAANG and broad tech buckets

Srayan Guhathakurta :
An engineer in Broad tech (say a bank) is always going to be a second class citizen; bankers will be first class

RandomNPC :
Another hard truth is those big companies in your background speak to your worth. Being the top guy at some defunct startup doesn’t carry much

Good Guy Greg :
Startup you’re betting the founder is right *and* can operate. Don’t ignore the latter, being right about the market isn’t enough.

IAmTheWalrus23875 :
Going to startups (especially early in your career) will give you a ton of experience in broad areas.

Deepa :
Some of the big tech is overvalued because they’re only broad tech worth but have ✨fame✨. Example: Netflix is content streaming same as espn, 🦚,amc

Man I got into a telemedicine tech startup six months before the pandemic. Great company culture and right place at right time.

Treasy :
There’s so many more buckets. Defense, security, finance among the ones you mentioned

what a nice way to categorize and explain the career landscape. I'm sure that there is middle points but... still amazingly good brief

Zach Mayer :
Does Oracle count as big tech, or broad tech? It's almost purely software, but it's basically immune to market forces.

I see a huge one missing, and that is genuine tech companies that do serious down to earth engineering but not under one of the big names.

Dude a Product Manager role at Walmart is COVETED in tech. Walmart is known for amazing tech.

Julian :
You’re missing the largest bucket by far. Medium sized tech companies. Not startup, not big, just normal sized. Like Epic.

How to find jobs at these broad tech companies?

Yep, I’m a SWE at a fortune 50 insurance company. Pay is nice, job is secure, I’m chillin

Douglas :
Yep. Spent my 20s in and out of startups, got lots of good projects and references and now that I'm married w/ kids Broad Tech is the sector to be in

Steph :
love this. so think it's worth mentioning that depending on your role, your salary can be the same regardless of which bucket you're in.

Kindragonrc :
Broad tech has database work and full stack potitions mostly, are steady work, but don’t pay as well as the other potential

It’s not FAANG anymore, it’s MANGA

I’m pretty sure Apple, Google, Facebook and Amazon are all proven business models considering they generate billions in revenue.

codyvlogtv :
Depends on the industry. You are a king in big tech as a software engineer, but a pawn/seen as tech support in a non tech company.

trailmix16 :
I feel like I never see job postings for broad tech
2023-02-20 04:44:49

Michael Bilyk :
I’m in broad tech and didn’t know it had a name. Best part is being one of the few young people. Always heads up when someone retires.

Botany Ben :
do you think you're missing the military industrial-complex? Each of those has minor overlap with it, but seems like it's own entity.

Philip Daineka :
you forgot about a very large basket of doing professional services: software development companies and agencies

I mean Walmart Labs is considered super prestigious/ high tech

Got my tech break as SWE working on a startup team for a well known large non tech company. So far it working great and gaining a ton of experience

user840906694047 :
In FAANG your personal success is at the team level but your pay is due to success at the company level.

Currently working a job in broad tech as lead engineer and putting all my time into the startup bucket as a founder for my AI startup

Thank you! I’ve been looking for a name for broad tech for a while, really appreciate you naming it and sharing this.
