stacked26785yI'm completely anti-academy, but still I would discourage dropping just because of an offer. Definitely not worth it.
Firstly, those companies are overrated. Secondly, having an offer does not mean much. Role? Compensation? Career prospectives? Also, maybe you'll never want to leave your country, but if you do beware that having a degree gives you access to types of visa that wouldn't be available otherwise. -
Drop out, no. Academic time is precious, it's really hard to get this kind of environment elsewhere. Also, having a degree really helps go through procedures and future interviews (and masters/PhD) so yeah.
Would I work at one of those companies? At a subset of them, yes, definitely. Not all.

I like investigating hypothetical and unlikely future scenarios, so here it goes:
Let's say you are studying CS(BSc.) and you got an offer at google(or another FAANG company). Would you drop out to work for them? Why/why not?
