Then do something else! There is a world beyond unicorns and FAANG companies.

Agreed. If you're burned out, consider moving to a lower cost of living area (assuming SFBA or similar is your current situation) and take a lower paying job. The stress of FAANG/startupville doesn't make sense for a lot of people.

This is good advice for a lot of people but a lot of us have a family and cant get passed the idea of uprooting them for ourselves. I am absolutely fried but I cant pull my kids out of school and my wife away from her family. So I just trudge on to the bitter end.
Not if you want that level of comp
(Sorry if you were already aware and are saying more along the lines of "money isn't everything", but I wanted to make the point)
How much money is that worth to you?
I own a house with a very comfortable mortgage payment less than a twenty minute drive or a 40 minute train ride from downtown Boston. I work from home on interesting problems and I have a great dog.
So not a whole lot.
There are better ways to live than sucking down cash to be miserable. You can't take it with you.
