This is not a good way to hire or develop the best. The best are going to go elsewhere.

To whatever companies will be top of the pile in a decade or two, after Google and Amazon have gone the way of IBM. Some of those will be founded by engineers who left the current FAANG setup and managed to not copy the insane parts of their previous org.
There's a life and death cycle even for companies and its important to remember that. Leaving and starting somewhere fresh seems natural.
Ok, but how do I find these types of jobs in my metro area?
Depends how badly you want the "big bucks". Non-FAANG software jobs still pay good money. Maybe not "I own a yacht" money, but definitely "I own two new cars and a 5 bedroom house" money.
10 years into my non-FAANG career and I own a basement suite and a bicycle. Any tips for better-paying non-FAANG companies I might look into?
Hard to say without a lot more detail on location and specialization. All I know is software engineering in DC metro pays well enough to live comfortably. If you’re working a .gov contract on a TS/poly, even better.
Where? If FAANG starts being bad, where else to go?
