It sounds like you know this job isn't a good fit for your disposition and ambitions. Staying somewhere where you're not a good fit won't really do anyone any favors, and a FAANG will have no problems replacing you. I was in your shoes a few years ago. It was a dream of mine to work at a FAANG and when I got there, it was super disappointing for a lot of the same reasons (IQ comment aside). I consistently got good/great performance reviews without working nights/weekends and I could've kept coasting for a long time but I would've been miserable. I left and I'm back in the startup world now, which has its own problems but I'm happier. The one thing I wasn't able to get from the post is what it is you actually want out of your job. It sounds like working with smart people is one component. You mentioned an efficient toolset. Is that it? I doubt it. It's probably worth taking the time to sit and figure that out before you move onto your next thing. As software developer we're in a unique position of choice, and IMO we should enjoy that while it lasts. It's not guaranteed to be like this forever. Life, and your career, is just way too short to spend in a place that you know is wrong.
