It sounds like you're in an average FAANG team. You could try switching teams.

Here's why I think you might be in an average team:

>"I have tried over the past 2 years to propose different solutions to hard problems and I just get blown off."

A good team has tough problems, and they need clever solutions. Maybe your team's mandate isn't to solve a tough problem.

>"product managers and “leadership” assign to our team with barely any input on the overall project or ability to propose new projects."

This sounds like you might be in a workhorse/executing engineering team.

You say this:

>"I’m scared to move teams ... because I have a good manager ... and my job isn’t that stressful."

A better manager would be trying to increase the team's scope, and yours. If you're not feeling some stress, your manager isn't growing you. A better manager would create a challenging environment for you where you'd feel like your ass is getting kicked.

There are great FAANG teams, and great FAANG managers. Seek them out! (I'm at Amazon, probably the "A" that didn't make it in your acronym. But if you drop me a note I could introduce you to great managers at Amazon)

Can't believe it can be like that in Amazon. I'm just on 4th month, but want to get out of here. Making myself to wait at least 24 months. After 10+ years experience last time I wanted to get out so badly was fintech

Why waste 20 months of your life and their time?
