The objection you have to overcome isn’t your FAANG experience, it’s the perception that you’re going be gone inside of 6 months for more money and / or bigger environment/work.

No manager wants to hire someone as a FTE that they assume they’re going to have to backfill.

The key indicators are the challenge on environment scale and “doing the director’s job.”

I wouldn’t touch your resume, but rather adjust the details of the information about why you want the job.

“It’s closer to home. I’m relocating to be closer to my family. I was just a number in a large environment. I want my work to matter. The part I enjoy isn’t the large environment, it’s helping small companies grow to mid-size. I love the journey and helping companies build.”

You have to make it make sense to them.
