I've found that to be absolutely not the case, at least for me. If the job is super disorganized, boring, stresful for stupid reasons or just plain not interesting for me, no amount of money will make me engaged or excited. I've been in such jobs which paid a lot of money (for me) and the result was golden handcuffs - I didn't want to lose the money, so I was basically pretending to be way more engaged than I really was. I suspect majority of FAANG employees are like that - the money's just way too good to not put up a charade and keep milking the cow.
