Are you in the US?

If you're a senior dev making < $180k, then you can probably double your salary by joining a FAANG. Probably the easiest route.

I like my job so would prefer to stay at my current employer.

That said, I did get an interview with Meta but it was cancelled due to the hiring freezes. Is Google hiring again?

I don't know but this is constantly in discussion on Blind, so I'd check there.

Is this still true? Aren't most such companies freezing hiring?
