I don't want to embark on the millionth discussion of FAANG compensation, but there are enough known facts about FAANG engineers making millions of dollars on their RSUs over 4-5 years, especially at the more senior levels. FAANGs are obviously not totally equitable, and you won't make a CEO's comp as an engineer, but you will make more than most other places. Also, I completely disagree with the notion that promotions are the cure against "stagnation". Stagnation has to do with the nature of your work, not your fancy title, height on the corporate hierarchy tree, or for that matter - your pay.
