After many, many many years, yes. (we're talking probably 15-20+)

Nope, not realistic

I don’t think it’s so unrealistic to earn in the 300 range in FAANG after 4-5 years.

I think it's unrealistic, but my company's not FAANG so I don't know for sure.

Thanks for this thread OP.
I’m currently studying part time for a computer science degree I still have a few more years to go. I’m really good at tech and computing and math have always been strong interests of mine but I was always unsure if I made the wrong choice or if it is a sustainable job for a frum mom with lots of family responsibilities and your post is really encouraging for me to finish studying and get that great job that I’ve always wanted
So thanks a lot.

It is realistic to earn that in FAANG (including compensation from equity) within the 5ish year range, but those jobs are very high pressure and require a lot of hours. It depends whether you want to maximize earnings or maintain more work / life balance. Also, of course, those jobs are hard to come by. Most people who apply for them don’t get them.
levels.fyi gives a very accurate comp structure for the big companies.

I have friends who work at FAANG and those numbers are real. The interviews are hard but not impossible - some people spend months studying and it pays off.

I was so glad to see this thread! Thanks for the info! I am considering becoming a software programmer. Due to family obligations, time constraints, and financial considerations I cannot obtain a college degree in the field (although I do have a degree in a different field). I plan to either take online classes or enroll in a bootcamp. However, the bootcamps all seem geared toward web development, which I do not want to pursue, and they are expensive. I would like to keep training costs as low as possible.
A few questions: Which computer languages would you recommend learning in order to get a first job? How many languages should I learn in order to get a job? In addition to learning languages, do you have any suggestions for specific courses or topics that I should take/cover? Udemy.com seems like they have many relevant courses- can this be a good resource for self training? Any suggestions for getting started would be great!
TIA!

Udemy can be a great place to take courses!
My suggestion is to learn an object oriented language first - such as c# or Java since those are pretty popular and you can always learn a non object oriented language after that (such as JavaScript).
Web development is the easiest field to get into - I'm curious why you aren't interested in that?
It's really hard to get a job if you don't have formal education listed on your resume - even just a boot camp. So instead I would recommend contributing to open source software or building a project you can use to advertise your skills.

Thanks everyone for the thread it's so informative. My dd 17 ( in sem school where we live is only until 11th grade) is taking a boot camp style course it's expensive but I hope will be good for her future.
Meantime I'm in between jobs due to mat leave and other things. Is it a good idea to learn coding using my daughter's course info?
I'm super efficient and learn new skills easily. I do need the income desperately how fast can I learn enough to be able to get a decent job?
Any suggestions and replies appreciated!

It definitely can't hurt to try and learn
I can't imagine you'll be able to teach yourself very quickly though... Most boot camps are 9 months, and I'm sure you have other responsibilities in your life that you can't dedicate your entire day to coding.
