No you can't. Source: I, too, was at a terminal level at a FAANG.

I've been doing it for over six years now, so why not? Joined ten years ago yesterday and made it to IC5, and haven't had any desire for a promo since then, so I just work on we/hatever I think is the best thing I can spend my time on for the team, and it's been sufficient for "meets all" or better every half except one. Just pick the right team with the right manager who actually cares about you and what is actually both for you and your coworkers.
Sure you can? You can even be a terminal L4 these days and just coast while getting paid like $250k/yr.
