I wouldn't use the Google brush to paint the other FAANG companies.
By all accounts I've heard, working at Facebook/Meta is a pretty rewarding experience (if harvesting user data is your thing) in all the ways Google is not.

To be honest after factoring in contracting vs being full time, living in a country with much less taxes than the US, low cost of life, higher quality of life, better food I don't think fangs are worth it unless paying 500k+ But then, maybe better try to get to 500k with a solo business than with fang bureaucracy
