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.
