Anyone else work at a company that has a great pay and benefits, but ultimately dissatisfied because of the line of business? I've come to realize that working at a company, say DoorDash, doesn't really interest me since the product itself doesn't seem to be that interesting to work on.

Do you like movies about gladiators?

I am in a tech IC position. One of friends switched to FAANG by converting the profile to consultant profile. The friend who might have less tech knowledge than me is now in FAANG and earning more. If the end goal would be that the friend might one day be a product manager and me an engineering manager taking instructions from the same friend, isn't consultant profile an easier path to growth. I had been practising DSA for years and the competition is only ever growing.
