Most of the best engineers I know leave faang because the work at faang sucks. It is not orthogonal. The majority of faang work is not highly impactful work like trivially because the amount of work outstrips the amount of interesting work by an easy oom.
FAANG doesn't straightforwardly retain the best technical talent, and the median task there is routine.
