Great points being made. There are other considerations though too. One example, that there are only so many engineers at that skill level and employee churn is high at FAANG companies - so paying a premium for talent makes sense since mone

go work at a dev shop - a company that contracts with clients to build things. Usually the gigs are hard & demanding. The good thing though is that you get exposed to all sorts of tech and people, but probably most importantly you'
