I had a gig as contractor at one of FAANGs (they needed expertise that they didn't posses). Money aside, after you remove from equation fleet of leetcoders there is a bunch of smart people over there that work on solving various interesting and challenging problems. It's great place to learn on how problems (especially in scaling of various infrastructure systems on global level) are solved and also how things shouldn't be done :)
