You want basically everything: fun, high salary, impact, autonomy, less stress etc. That's where it's wrong. That thing doesn't exist. Even people suggesting you to go work for FAANG are kind of wrong. By becoming the biggest gear in the machine cog, I doubt you will ever find satisfaction. I'd honestly go see a psychologist, it seems you don't know what you want and even your own desires seems to be mirrored to what people generally see and want here in HN. For instance, if you are looking for satisfaction and making yourself happy, fixing your parental or whatever troubling issue you may have, more money or a different job won't fix it. But rather by a self-exploratory process which a professional might be able to help you with. Life isn't about having a job. Maybe those are internal issues you have, like a crush which didn't work out, mother/father, relationships, poverty background or whatever. Anyhow, go see a psychologist.
