Why do you need to compete with FAANG?
I'm in New Zealand. I'm paid approx $120k USD as a staff engineer equivalent at a conaultancy, and I think that's about market rate if you're good. I've never worked for a FAANG (was at Xero in the early days though).
You could hire three and a half of me for the price of one ex FAANG person in your city.
NZ is English speaking and has a fair amount of time zone overlap with the US west coast. We do have proper labour laws though :P
