Comment on Ask HN: How to Exit FAANG?

Comments

Have you tried finding something intrinsically motivating (even if it's higher effort/higher stakes)? I spent two years at USDS after losing all motivation at AWS. I ended up working harder and on more consequential projects, but it really helped me find the joy in programming again.

FWIW, USDS has let a number of senior/staff ICs from companies whose name rhymes with "frugal" do very short stints (3-4 months).
