I have experience in a FAANG and many non-FAANGs, and this is spot on. The important takeaway imo is that FAANGs are not meant to be career-length jobs for most folks. Get in, use the environment and resources to build your skills and the free resume points, then bounce to something much less pressuring later. Some crazy people thrive on that kind of pressure though, and you'll have a great time if that's your jam.
