FWIW, I've been trying to make the jump from FAANG to a smaller, stable company for the past few years. I started off in the smaller companies and miss it terribly. I made a bunch of extra money in the FAANG space, but I'm unhappy. Resentful is the last thing I'd ever be, but the lack of working knowledge is a huge issue. I work weekends on building knowledge, but the lack of direct experience running something at scale means I'll never get the chance to make the jump back to the environment I want and thrive in. I honestly wish I never made the jump for the money in the first place.
