The big money there attracts creeps and backstabbers. Many weasel their way in with modest qualifications and a lot of bluster and maybe some leetcode, then they bully people and jockey for position once in. Lots of taking credit for what others did and aiming for the big office. Worked at Apple from the early days of the NeXT merger until OS X came out. Toward the end security guards razzed me for swearing at the servers that kept crashing from instability. I had to make sure the next round of developer tools worked and they just liked to sit and watch and make notes about any peculiar actions from developers.

So, yeah. If you like endless, bloodthirsty cutthroat competition under florescent lights and security guards treating you like freaky garbage then how could you not want the modest benefit that comes with working from a huge company instead of a smaller one that is actually in contact with customers and doing meaningful work for them on a regular basis?

Just work remotely.
