I think a lot of these discussions are missing the locale that many people are living in. The amount of people who are contracting or freelancing and raking in FAANG money ($400k+) is likely a lot lower than people are being lead to believe.

If you want FAANG money, just join FAANG.

I agree. Location is very important here.

If one likes to work in Southeast Asia for example, it doesn't take FAANG money to enjoy living there.
