Thinking about leaving my position at Red Ventures as a Software Engineer, for an internship at AWS with potential to be hired full time. Right now I’m making 75-90k a year at RV but from what I hear at Amazon Web Services I could be making double. But I worry about the burn out at FAANG companies. Opinions? I feel my salary is pretty low for what I do.

Without having talked to you in-person or have spoken to you on a call, it’s difficult to provide sound advice. The one thing I would look for is actionable feedback. Find someone you can trust and who is willing to be honest with you. At the same time, be prepared to hear some uncomfortable things about yourself. These conversations are not easy for either party, but they can go a long way in your development.
I know this is rote advice, but things like improv and Toastmasters help you with confidence and fearlessness, which I think you could do with. There are also plenty of youtube videos out there about public speaking! In my experience, group settings (especially informal ones) are challenging when I'm really wanting to come across a certain way. It's like I'm focused on my role in the group, rather than being in the moment and listening. And here's the thing: if you don't have something that needs to be said, it's okay to keep listening. Don't talk for the sake of it, and then you'll speak out of a place of conviction instead. And if you're required to speak, always know WHY you're saying something - it will get you to the right place.
I agree that know why you're talking and why your point is important is really helpful. Also, know that people are sometimes more forgiving than you think. But I think it's great for you to take some training or a class or something to build confidence. It's also about your value.
