Keep in mind a 10x salary isn't even that much - you won't be able to solve everyone's problems, but you can solve a lot of problems. I don't work at a FAANG but I make about 5-10 times as much as my wife's family. Get in touch with the community. Have BBQs. Most people can't afford meat. If you're lazy, buy pizzas for everyone every now and then. A cousin once bought a lamb for my wedding back when I was poorer. He buys air-conditioning for some houses with bad heat insulation, and pays for water filters in some places. That's the kind of thing that people will be grateful for. Be careful not to look cocky though. Putting effort into things is appreciated. I've given expensive gifts, with a handwritten and drawn card. You can make nice homecooked meals (with butter instead of margarine). There's often a mindset that with high salaries comes a lot of bad stuff (responsibility, instability, long hours, debt, tax, etc). Play up to that stereotype for those who want to believe it. There will be some people who look to you for inspiration, help them out. HNers complain a lot about the work, but honestly, many people would be happy to work twice as hard for half the pay we make now.
