The low stress jobs are the key. If I have 2-3 million saved, do I really want to grind at a FAANG or equivalent? Theres low key startups and enterprise dev jobs that are much less stressful and still pay around 120-150K which keeps healthcare covered, CoL covered, and keeps your nest-egg intact.

IMO your view of stress at FAANG vs elsewhere is off. Some of the least stressed engineers I know work for the big names.

I'm sure there are stressed engineers there as well, but I'd be surprised if it's actually a higher %.
