None of these questions make sense in the software engineer position i am in. if you on trining, your on training. If its your day of, you dont get a call. Your manager isnt a predator. Your colleagues arnt all out to get you and keep there intellect superior to yours. You can work 4 days, not hit your KPIs, and still have a job next year as long as your honest and trying and putting in effort. FAANG companies represent 0.00000001% of all employers in tech. if you chase pay, expect to deal with cultural challanges that come with elites. If you chase work life balance, taking a paycut and moving to a company that will give your time back and reduce anxiety can work. In the long run, as you show value to that company u will likely start to get the benifits that come with tenure - even more freedom, responsibility, money, and ability to shape your work arrangement.
