Everyone has their own goals. I think the world would be a better place if everyone found their ideal work environment. I'm bias, helping people find this is what I do now for a living. But there are definitely a lot of people for whom a FAANG job is great, even if just for a short period of time. A lot of people come from non traditional backgrounds and historically underrepresented backgrounds, and it's not so easy to navigate the market. It's somewhat of a privilege to choose your perfect job that comes with experience and/or mentoring.
