Burnt out at FB, looking for new job (referrals)

I’ve been at Facebook for 2 years now and can’t take it anymore. I’m looking for a new job (doesn’t have to be FAANG, ok with pay cut) in SF, NYC, or remote. Would love to find a company with good work life balance and less cutthroat culture, so I don’t care as much about “prestige”. Would be very grateful for referrals since the applications I’ve been sending out have been mostly unanswered. I’m mostly a backend web engineer but willing to learn.
To those who think leaving FB is a mistake: I’m choosing my health and happiness over FB

So if I were to do it again I'd join a chiller FAANG/tech company just with a better dollars/hours-worked ratio.
But your mental health and happiness ARE important so I don't blame you if you have to take something quickly especially during Covid :)
