Tech Engineer Proportions
Discussions center on the percentage of software engineers in large tech companies like FAANG and Tesla compared to total staff, and whether specific engineer numbers are significant relative to the global or US engineer pool.

Considering that a significant (half or more?) portion of their engineers are from other countries... is it not still the 1%?
Google et al. are huge but they're << 10% of engineers.
I saw 19/6563 and only 6 of them are software engineers.I wouldn't say that is a bunch in this time, more like regular process.
The percentages in the field are skewed, FAANG employ a vast number of engineers.
Are the 12k people all software engineers?
I'd be hugely surprised if they had more than 40% engineering.
About 50%. In tech it is less, most were engineers
That number ~150 engineers seems way too small, at most tech companies I worked at, engineering comprises 40-50% of the staff, if it doesn't something would seem very off. Engineering in this case is product, platform, IT, hardware etc.
Not that extreme, maybe 1% of engineers?
Is this going to bloat the Software Engineer market? Do we know what percentage are developers?
