You are in a unique position in the history of time where you make A LOT of money for a regular job. My approach would be to look at it as an exit strategy. Work in FAANG until mid-thirties, save as much money as possible. By then, you could be financially free and do whatever you like, start a company, study, or change fields.

By then, you also maybe have a family who will change how you look at the world completely. Also, you would have a good CV which will give you a job anytime you need one.

Yes, it is a safe route, but also one that leads to freedom, which is very powerful.
