Can I switch to FAANG (or any product based company)? Currently working at service based on tech stack mostly used by service based only.

I have close to 14 years of experience mostly in development and solution architecture. Right now I am working in a top FMCG company for 3 years now and now I want to switch to technical product based company such as FAANG , Salesforce and so. I need some help/suggestions on how should I move forward for the preparation.rrwuest you guys to share your experiences as well

I am a software engineer with 2+years of experience at a product based company. My current CTC is around 10 lpa which I feel is below market standards. Also my wlb is terrible and growth at my current organisation has become stagnant. I mostly work on bug fixes and some minor feature enhancements. What are the skills that are required to switch to a product based company as soon as possible with at least 15-17 lpa ? Currently I am not aiming for big tech ( FAANG) type companies as I know these will require thorough DSA , System design preparations which is not possible with my current job.

Is anyone who had switched from prod to service based , why did you do that ? Recently i had read a post where people are talking about low quality work on FAANG and high quality work on startups. I had personally seen a manager coming from Microsoft to Wipro , and a guy from Amazon to IBM .... ??

Hey everyone, I'm currently working as a SDE at a startup with about three years of experience. I'm considering making a move, and I've received an offer from an early-stage startup where I'd be joining as a founding engineer. My main motivation for wanting to switch to some startup is the potential for high learning and growth opportunities, especially since I'm still relatively early in my career. However, I'm a bit torn between targeting multinational corporations (MNCs) like FAANG and sticking with startups.On one hand, MNCs offer more stability and potentially valuable stock options, which can be more than just paper money. So, my question is, should I prioritize learning and growth by staying with startups, or should I also consider the FAANG tag and potential stock benefits? Also Would there be any added advantage when I later interview at some FAANG , after working as a founding engineer for 3-4 years in some startup (given I’ll have to build multiple things from scratch and owning multiple modules). The base package for the offer I hold is roughly equivalent to what FAANGs pay at my level. Any advice or insights would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

I have received an offer from B2B startup, fairly early stage bootstrapped and going for series A this year. Base 45 JB 2 Variable 12% And esops worth 30L over four years Role SDE 2 YOE 3.5 should i still try for faang or go with this for a year, i really liked the people and team here and they are fully commited to making this startup a success and even their last company got accquired.
