Once in FAANG, should one consider leaving?

At Apple, I am bored out of my mind in my group. The work is boring and not rewarding. Frankly, I also feel underappreciated and underpaid.
I am talking to #amazon and #google (because I am a fanboy), but wondering if it will be as boring and repetitive. Sometimes I wonder whether I should consider startups, many of which seem to keep up with the pay.
I am currently IC4, though quickly realized it was a downgrade on entry. I am considering tech lead/manager roles as that's what I did before and was much happier.
