I am currently in a good team with lots of growth and good team members. But getting pressured by the hype on blind around FAANG. Do you advice going for a FAANG and trying the interviews? I have no complaints from my current job YOE 2 years TC 150k
Of course. First of all Uber will eat your lunch, pun intended. Secondly it’ll never be as profitable as FAANG (amazon gets an exception, plus AWS).
Not really concerned about profit/money at this point. Debt free and want to enjoy my life Most people have hard time understanding this
True.... Just enjoy with the things that u like d most and earn the income sufficient to run a family... most people are look for the salary.. but I feel time is even more important aspect.... u got into faang already... it means u r gud enough to earn money to run a family... and u can get back to faang whenever u want to earn more...
Stay until you are itching to leave. Enjoy the WLB for a bit and once you get bored then you’ll feel the decision is way easier and you’ll be happier with the end result. Give it another 6 months perhaps
I thought you already have offers from faang 🙄
I always thought learning is more important than TC and I was always wrong.
Your yoe ? Why is it wrong ?
I have 5+ years of experience. What I have observed is that more than skills you need to be at the right place at the right time. Learning is good but what I have learned is to never sacrifice TC for learning. If you are getting both it is great but never sacrifice your TC for learning, high TC in long run will automatically get you to the projects that are at scale and matter to world. I feel it is a win win! Technology changes so fast that I would always go for minting skill I know before it gets old.

Try it, odds are you won’t make it so then you can move on without worrying about it. I spent the first 18 years of my career without doing the FAANG thing and life was still pretty good. Blind is a machine of discontent.
No
