Looking for very senior IC role

Folks, I am currently working as a Distinguished Engineer at a Series B funded startup in Bangalore. Can't disclose the company name. I am responsible for complete architecture, design, implementation, quality standards and processes of multiple products. Due to intolerable cultural issues, I need to switch soon. Any leads towards MNCs/Startups hiring for Distinguished Engineer, Senior Distinguished Engineer, CTO, VP of Engg, Principal Engineer, or Senior Principal Engineer will be helpfull. If the interview process involves more of architecture and design discussions rather than leetcode hard, that is excellent. I am not focussed on hike and looking around my current compensation of 150LPA base. YoE 25. I am fine with any domain. Tech stack: Golang, C++, Python and all latest large scale distributed systems technologies.

150LPA base or 200LPA CTC would be good.

Definitely, FAANGMULA is going to downlevel you after taking like 5-5 rounds to principal engineer or senior staff. Also, since you are at IC path, existing principal engineers are FAANGMULA are going to eat you off even if you join as PE or DE, also it’s difficult to switch to over to leadership from a series B startup. The only options you are left with is Remote companies like Apollo.io / rippling that can match your base and also offer you a leadership role.
