Should I break into PM by leaving FB for a Hardware Startup?

A startup wants to hire me as one of the first PMs to work on a robot. It seems that there are both software and hardware aspects (but mostly hardware)
Long term I want to work on digital entertainment products. I am already at a FAANG company but transferring internally is hard and not guaranteed after months of prep.

Am glad I made the move, but realize it’ll be hard to come back to FB without several years as a PM elsewhere first
But FB expects 2+ YOE to hire any PM’s outside the RPM program.
So I’d say leave if you get the offer. Just don’t expect to come back too soon
