That depends on what kind of companies you want to work for.
If you look outside of FAANG (companies in the rest of the world with unattractive stock), finding good engineers is a problem and most codebases are filled with horror.
The plus side is that, once you're a good engineer, you get little stress/pressure and a lot of leverage on flexibility (eg. remote in cheap places, in pre covid times), even if you won't make as much as FANG engineers.
Also, interviews don't require 2 months of preparation every time you want to jump ship.
I'm sure if you're paying FAANG money you can find plenty of good engineers happy to do backflips.
