How to tell you’re US-based without saying you’re US-based.

Am I sometimes jealous when I see US tech compensation? Sure! But like you say, it's about much more than money + stock.
I made considerably less at smaller companies. But there's good money to be made at F500 companies that are non FAANG as well, if you're willing to climb the IC (or management) ladder.
