Big Tech, also known as the tech giants or tech titans, are the largest and most powerful technology companies in the world. It most commonly refers to the five dominant companies in the U.S. technology industry—Microsoft, Apple, Alphabet (Google), Amazon, and Meta (Facebook)—which are also some of the largest companies in the world by market capitalization, making up about a quarter of the S&P 500. Other large technology companies, such as Netflix, Nvidia, Tesla, and SpaceX, are sometimes included but usually referred to separately. The term Big Tech is similar to terms for other powerful industries, such as Big Media, Big Oil, Big Pharma, and Big Tobacco. Careers in Big Tech, particularly in technical fields such as software engineering and product management, are considered highly competitive.
