What career move would you make? FAANG Contract or steady work

[mohelena02]

not having PTO for 6 months is not that big of a deal (unless it means working on Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years)

> . Not sure giving up a permanent position for a short term contract even though it’s FAANG would look good on resume anyway.

totally disagree            
nobody cares if you left one position and took another for an increase in pay and responsibility          

OP says current position is "mind-numbing, with lots of red tape and no path for growth."
   
so leaving for more responsibility, a need to be challenged, a path for growth and wanting to be used for their fullest potential would be seen as a plus

Thank you for your input!! 

My bet on the FAANG job would be that it would help me fully get a better role afterwards with another company. Right now I feel like I am a bit stuck where I am but with FAANG PM experience I might be able to get a better situation going.
