Are you a working for another FAANG company? There are benefits to working on code at scale. You will learn how to commit code alongside dozens/hundreds of other engineers while minimizing bugs. You will become a better coder because other people will scrutinize and review your code. You will have access to some of the thought leaders in the web development space. You will see how professional software engineers maximize their productivity.
Politics aside, if you are an indie developer or have developed only on small teams, spending a year or two at a FAANG company will often greatly improve your effectiveness as a coder that you can then bring to your own projects or smaller companies. I'd recommend it, but don't get attached to the money and set an exit date.
