Title: I&#x27;ve spent the last decade in two FANG companies, and I&#x27;ve got to a high level where my total compensation is ridiculous.<p>The problem is that it bores me to tears, and I don&#x27;t want to do it anymore.<p>At first thought, maybe I am burned out? However, I can still come home and write code for a side-project, so I don&#x27;t think this is &quot;burn-out&quot;. I don&#x27;t know to be honest. I think the best description is that I am cynical of the &quot;mission&quot;, and I can&#x27;t connect my work to people I care about. How do I know what the source of the problem is?<p>However, I wanted to pose two questions.<p>First, what is the environment like for exiting high-level former-FANG employees?<p>Second, what are some of the surprises post-FANG that I would be in for if I wanted to start a company?<p>Thank you for your time.
