Yeah, although there is fair degree of turnover to different big-tech companies as well (especially now to get a nice RSU new-hire grant at a lower share price)

Yeah, although there is fair degree of turnover to different big-tech companies as well (especially now to get a nice RSU new-hire grant at a lower share price). On pulse surveys there is always a question "how many years are you planning on staying" and it tops off at 9+ :) I joined my first FAANG as a staff engineer working remotely about a year ago and will stay as long as they will have me! Even with the location adjustment and market downturn I am making a great income for the Midwest and get to lead some interesting projects in embedded engineering. I am also too old and tired to interview again!
