Prospects for a (very computational) STEM PhD in FAANG?

Hey folks,

​

Last spring I completed a PhD in computational astrophysics - I don't want to go into too much detail as my field is small, but my thesis subject was a monte carlo simulation that I wrote which generated and analyzed many PB of data (yes, I realize that sounds ridiculous - it was ridiculous and it required several supercomputers and a few millions of core hours). The sim was in c++ and most mathematical analysis was written …
