Coding interviews are stupid (ish)
The official estimate of software developer positions in the United States was 1,656,880 in 2023.[1] 10% of that would be a high estimate of FAANG software developers in all countries. And most in those companies make less.

A high estimate? Google alone stands at 180k employees. I'd imagine at least a half of those are technical positions.

Technical positions is more than software engineers. 60,000 software engineers was the most I saw. And most other technical positions pay less.
