Engineers, how does day to day life change when you join FAANG?

Currently engineer at c1. Planning on making the jump to higher tier companies and would like to see how this would change my lifestyle.
For comparison, currently remote and I can coast by doing 2-3 hours of work each day plus meetings. The rest of the day I’m chilling, enjoying life, exploring hobbies, doing stocks, etc.
Incidentally, manager has been encouraging me to take on more scope recently which makes the value prop of my job less.
If I’m going to start working 6-8 hrs a day I should just get a higher paying job is my reasoning, but wanted to get a clearer idea of what it would look like.

At Amazon my blood pressure went up and I was a big ball of stress.
At Google I'm chilling like your C1 days but when I work it's on massive scale projects with amazing coworkers and perks. So I plan to stay for a bit and only leave for equal culture and double TC if that's even possible.
What an euphemistic way of saying manager has caught you slacking and wants you to water harder!
