Looking to move to 9-5; less stress; more WLB
I’ve been working at FAANG since 2004 and I worked at startups before that I am technical but not looking to code full time. More of an Architect. I prefer IC roles with wide scope. TCT $325K. Recent actual TC north of $800K but those days are over. YOE almost 30 I’ve done FAANG with fat paychecks but working nights and weekends and always challenged to do the next great thing Now maybe it’s time to kick back a little. I still want to do a good job, but at a “regular” company (not FAANG, not startup) where expectations are lower. Sure it may mean less pay, but also much less stress Any suggestions? Generally looking at Seattle area but may be open to moving.

I am not looking for a startup. I am looking for a regular company. IDK maybe Sony, or Boeing... something like that
To succeed at Amazon requires lots of time and effort. Although I learn a great deal, it is never enough and there is always the push for more. The expectations are huge. At Amazon you are working with the top tech folks... it’s tough to stand out With my experience and knowledge I think I can kick ass without too much effort at some other companies. Looking for suggestions on whether that is true.
