I have never had the luck (I guess) to run across a company that is both great to work at and pays well.

If they're great to work at, they don't have to pay top dollar to attract and (more importantly) retain people.

I would argue most* FAANG and similar companies are some of the best companies to work at as a SWE, in addition to paying well.

No company is perfect, not even FAANG. However despite their many warts, I would argue they are still better than working at most other companies outside of the Silicon Valley tech sector where the vast majority of SWEs are employed.

* Of course, there are exceptions. Amazon seems to be particularly notorious.
