L5 at FAANG makes almost no decisions on their own but has to schedule a dozen meetings and pester a dozen people from various teams to "get alignment".

We still have to do the work to get the decision made without the fun part of just making the decision ourselves.

Man, I really thought I’d be doing Cool Things at FAANG but startups are a lot more interesting and a lot less backstabby.

Sigh

Yep. I've done both now. Pay and perks are better at FAANG but the work itself is way more boring/annoying
