I’ve never understood the attitude of “dreamed for years to get into FAANG”. I’d guess you’ll regret it if you have an attachment to being able to tell other people you work for one of those companies, or are attached to the compensation packages and can’t match it elsewhere. If it’s the technology/work that brought you there, I doubt you’ll miss it since lots of other places have exciting interesting work.

I think you’re the only one who can answer that question, and it really boils down to being very honest with yourself about why you dreamed for years to get into those places and what you’ll lose by leaving.
