I work in energy. The problem space I work in is WAY cooler than the FAANG bread and butter stuff.

It feels unstable with the layoffs. I can never land a job there tho

Same, although the energy company isn’t super well known, it’s really cool tbh. In no other job in tech would I be working with a PhD applied meteorology and people with complete finance backgrounds at the same time. Also, site visits are golden. Would suggest people to try and intern at one (very high return conversion rate at my specific company, decent pay for full-time, not good for intern).

I'm at a giant fortune 500, and I was an intern in an engineering department and it turned out they needed someone with a software background to work on tools/infrastructure/data science for the engineers. They ended up hiring me permanently before I graduated undergrad (always been into software but was in school for EE and Math). They are currently paying for my tuition and I plan on finishing up my degree. Never a dull moment, and I'm in charge of a large distributed system
