Hello all,

I've been working in the tech department of a FAANG company for about 3 yrs. as a S/W engineer in a fairly lucrative position. However, things have gotten to the point where I am starting to grow bored and fairly uninterested in my current position.

Thanks to having avoided being laid off, I am hesitant to just start looking for the fear of losing what I have but I know this is not a good position for me, in the longer term. The product is not interesting anymore and I feel the new team can do an adequate job.

When would you start looking for startup jobs? Would you wait or should I just go for it now? Am I being crazy looking for a new job in this current market when I have something?

I feel fairly dissatisfied with my current position but people are advising me to stay in the current job for the good paycheck!

If you have recommendations for books you've read that you've liked, or other practical resources that might be helpful to someone new to the language, I'll appreciate the pointers to them!

Thanks!
