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

So I recently applied for a position as a training specialist, but I feel like I’m more than qualified to look for other roles. I have work in finance, but I do have my PMP, but I haven’t led any large projects, just assisted on them any advice to a young professional that just graduated with an MPA Fiserv, Inc

Mediocrity is extremely subjective. If you’re happy with where you are, more power to you and don’t let anyone convince you otherwise. If you’re not, then by all means try to change your situation
That's such a general question. Mediocrity of what? I used to be an awesome associate with a mediocre to low quality of life. Now I have an amazing work life balance and significantly higher than average time for my loved ones and hobbies to pursue, and I'm working on a comparatively mediocre Corp strategy job. Will that change in a few years? Maybe. Maybe not.
The real question is what parameters of life are you willing to be mediocre in and where do you want to excel (no ouns intended).
That being said, if someone has made themselves to believe that mediocrity in all aspects of life is ok, well.. then... Good luck to them.
