Not knowing exactly what your situation is, it is difficult to say what You should do. But... I would suggest You take a sober second look at your manager's comments. Sometimes what appears to be malicious attacks are just clumsy attempts to motivate. Has anyone else on your team had simmilar issues? I know it is hard to deal with a pushy manager but sometimes You just have to suck it up and put your nose back into joint. If You are convinced You will have to leave don't sell yourself short by taking a 30% pay cut. Find a better paying job than your current one, and it is always easier to find a new job while You still have one. That is mainly because it avoids the questions a possible employer has about why You left (especially if they pass You by without even asking). It seems You are quite frustrated and discouraged, it might be worthwhile reaching out to Your manager and honestly and HUMBLY asking for help resolving the issues You are having rather than the "I hate this shit" scorched earth, bridge burning path. Good luck in whatever You decide.

If it’s a FAANG-type company, then it may be really hard to find another job that pays more. That’s one of the risks you take when you go to work for a FAANG — you end up pricing yourself out of the market for all non-FAANG companies. Most non-FAANG companies are likely to look at your compensation you got and decide you’re just too expensive and you won’t even make it in the front door. You end up having to look extra hard for startup type companies or other non-traditional employers who are willing to overlook your previous compensation, if you’re willing to take a lot less money in order to be a happier person.

I forgot to mention, team culture is dumping shit on each other. Ticket with vague language. "we want google analytics on our sites" mind you there are 30+ sites. Then if you ask more, the biz dev / product douche, says oh ask this dev he has worked on this, you message the other dev who responds back in 3 hours oh we pass events here and you can read more google analytics documentation. I still don't wtf I need to do, where I need to do it, and what the output should be. After slow back and forth, I just give up and watch a movie instead. Everyone redirects to each other or to some random documentation. At last company I had product person who had tech background. Tickets were completely understandable and lead to action. But then in useless meetings these same people LOVE to hear themselves speak 10 minutes at a time. You clearly dont care about any of this, then in 'public' you pretend to be really interested in the product. So 50% gets done and then manager is like wHy dOnT yOu ReAcH oUt more...
