wow, impressive to go from coding bootcamp to FAANG in that period of time! Did you get a degree or any relevant experience beforehand? What tech stack do you work in and how did you manage that trajectory?
I would certainly give FAANG a try to see if you like it, as you mention it unlocks an impressive earning to give model. I’d make a shortlist of health tech based companies you’re interested in and begin networking now, I imagine you could worst case help out in some way to help with testing the field out while proving competence.
Option 4, you need a strong idea you need to get out in the world first.
For option 2 I’m bias as I know some bioinformatics PhDs who I work with in tech, seems it didn’t work out for them as a path. Again I think you need clearer ideas here in terms of what you want to do and ensure it REQUIRES the MD/MS in bioinformatics.
In short, option 1 is the easiest to rule out as you’re going to be working there. I wouldn’t worry about long-term yet and just focus if you enjoy the work in the present
