as a young creative, would you take a contract role at a FAANG that's currently on the table or try your best to land a job at a good agency instead?

Faang will just make you more attractive to the agencies later. If they can afford you.

Faang bc you actually have a shot at making something cool with production $$$ for your book that will help you later

Just keep in mind that if you take the Faang job and you want to go internal, be cautious you’re not in a permalancer type role. If you want to work full time for a Faang company (depending on the team) then maybe agency will be better for you. I’ve worked with a lot of people who never get taken off the contract and it is very frustrating.
