How does an MBA degree from INSEAD compare with a degree from a top US school such as Wharton or Stanford GSB?

Really depends on what kind of future and opportunities you’re looking for and what network you want to have. I’d say Wharton doesn’t compare - you have breadth but quality won’t be nearly as good as GSB. For INSEAD, most people go to MBB at an international office or work for MNCs. It means less if you want to work in the US - most employers here don’t consider it to be equal prestige to GSB or Wharton Bc the avg American HR/ recruiter wouldn’t normally take it into consideration.

Depends on what you want to do. Recruiting for the us isn’t as good at insead. It’s also known as a big consulting school. If you want to do finance for example, it’s probably not a great choice.

Have been a L5 PgM at Amazon for one-year and thinking about opportunities to boomerang back at a higher level later on.

Anyone gone back to consulting, or is it better to go to another FAANG before boomerang? I don’t think going to industry at this point makes sense.

Concern on going to another FAANG is getting de-leveled/starting over. L5 is nebulous middle management, and it’s easy to get lost in the shuffle.
