I’m currently working at a fintech startup in SF which is growing really fast. I see that the job security is pretty good as their interview process is very rigorous. But on the other hand, I see Linkedin everyday where people are getting into FAANG and I feel I’m less than them. At this point keeping the recession/layoffs in mind, what is more important- job security at a startup or working at a Faang company?
Any advice would be very helpful. Thank you so much :)

She has been under a lot of stress although she had many great networking calls with people. I wanted to help but can't identify what she can improve on.
