Helllllllllllllll

no.

Yes ! You can likely come back to MBB or back to big 4 with a better salary.

Assuming you will be doing some quality work at FAANG

like

Only if your a direct contractor, which is very unlikely. or else you won’t list FAANG as your last employer

like

Of course you should.

1) you have a strong path to get into Big Tech. Else, strong potential for exit opps
2) Big 4 will always be around (especially now that you have experience at one). Boomeranging still exists

Should value stability right now.

Would not risk a contracting position right now
