It's an okay idea. But it's more of an incomplete idea.
Take it from me, a random anonymous internet addict, the huge goals are actually less important than the small goals and how you measure progress towards those big goals.
What's much more important than your 5 year plan to be working for a FAANG is what is your 6 month plan to make that goal more realistic? In 3 years time, how will you be sure you've spent those 3 years well if you still have 2 years to go?
If you're depressive my worry is the same thing will happen to you that will happen to me, you'll be plodding along for 12 months, 30 months and wonder? "Why hasn't anything changed?" or think "I've put all this effort into it and made all these mistakes, I realize success isn't over night but I feel like I'm going no-where".
That's why like a Matroyshka Doll you need all these intervals and milestones nested inside of your big goal.
