I was at a very small startup until earlier this year, but if I eventually want to land an AE role at a FAANG, is an established startup a good step in the direction?

I think an established start up is a totally great place to start your career. Most people recognize start ups as difficult places to work, with challenges left and right so I think that having some good examples of ways you overcame the challenging environment will be impressive to prospective employers

Anyone know of any good start-ups?
