Need some advice here. I am a fullstack developer with 5 yoe in Angular and Python. My aim is to crack FAANG companies.Now I got an offer from HSBC in a credit risk model monitoring role using Python.It is close to a data engineer role.
My question is that will it be a good idea to shift from development role to a model monitoring role if I want to move to FAANG in the future?Or does FAANG not prefer people who are not in core development roles?Amazon Microsoft Google Adobe PwC EY Citi Barclays JPMorgan Chase

While I shouldn't say it depends on your experience level, sadly it does. If you have significant experience and a license that you can leverage later, a few months long break is understandable since traveling can also expand your horizons and give you new perspectives that can be a bonus at the job. However if you are an early career professional with significant student loans and not enough financial independence, it could impede some opportunities in a tough job market. You know your situation best so take an informed call.
Regardless if you do choose to go, make the most of it. You never know if you will get this opportunity again. Most people work their whole young lives to earn the luxury to travel and see the world, and hey, who knows, you may eventually decide to start your own thing and not be dependant on a less than understanding job.
Life is for living, I’d say it’s worth it to spend a few months for a once in a lifetime trip if the only downside is that advancing in the job market happens a little later than expected.
