The title is a bit clickbait because it's not really about leaving tech, it's about leaving the bullshit behind. If you don't want to work for FAANG actively ruining the world then you have options. In addition to what is posted here, the best advice I can give is to work at a company that isn't a tech company. More regular companies than you think employ software engineers.

Agreed, personally I work for a university now (not in the US) - I’m still a software dev, but it’s the best job I’ve ever had because the people/work/purpose is all good.
