Career goals Memes

OH. MY. GOD. The AUDACITY of this man showing up in a tie-dye Hawaiian shirt and SHORTS to a meeting! But that's what happens when you reach god-tier status in tech! 💅 Once you've written enough code that keeps the entire company from imploding, you've EARNED the right to dress like you're about to hit the beach after debugging production for 72 hours straight. Meanwhile, the rest of us peasants are suffocating in button-ups trying to look competent! The true mark of senior engineering status isn't a fancy title—it's the freedom to look like you just rolled out of bed and STILL have everyone hanging on your every word!

Remember when FAANG (Facebook, Apple, Amazon, Netflix, Google) was the dream destination for every code monkey with a computer science degree? Well, move over grandpa, because now it's all about GAYMAN - Google, Amazon, Y(ahoo?), Meta, Apple, Nvidia. The tech landscape shifts faster than my git branch strategy. These six horsemen of the apocalypse now control whether your resume gets tossed in the bin or your salary hits six figures. Funny how we measure our worth by which corporate logo sits on our LinkedIn profile. Peak capitalism wrapped in RGB lighting.

Move over FAANG, there's a new tech acronym in town! The meme brilliantly rearranges the logos of Google, Amazon, Y Combinator, Microsoft, Meta (formerly Facebook), Apple, and Nvidia to spell out "GAYMMAN" - the inclusive alternative to those boring corporate ladders everyone's desperately climbing. The tech industry's obsession with prestigious acronyms just got fabulously disrupted. Instead of stressing about getting into those elite FAANG companies (Facebook, Apple, Amazon, Netflix, Google), why not embrace the GAYMMAN lifestyle? Probably has better work-life balance anyway.
