Ask HN: Is future more promising with cloud ops or dev role?

I've been doing leetcode for the last 5 months in prep for getting a job at FAANG as a developer. I've got much better but still struggling with some medium level problems around DP and such.

In the meantime, got an offer from a non-FAANG company (in Fintech) for a lead devops role. Interviews were long and extensive but didn't focus much on algos and more on the devops/cloud ops knowledge.

Struggle is, should I reject the offer and keep grinding leetcode to get into FAANG, eventually? Total comp is clearly lower than FAANG-level (still 6-figures though).

Pros: Lead devops role at a public company sounds very appealing and more promising for the future (devops is generally less competitive and requires more seniority)

Cons: Interview prep for the last 5 months is thrown out the window. Lower paycheck than FAANG, could be like 100k lower. But I don't like my current job so desperate for a change
