You could get your MBA. It would help with getting promoted, and with operating a startup.

There’s some science behind leadership. It’s not an ability you need to be born with, and it doesn’t matter if you’re introverted or extroverted.

Jumping into a startup is taking a big chance. I did it and spent everything I had. You could try a side project, and if it gets some traction, look for investors. Then think about quitting your FAANG job.

If you’re looking for some more meaningful work, see if your company has 20% time. Then you can work on something because you like it, not because you have to.
