"The job isn't everything and many of us are unwilling buy in."
Advice from "older guy" here. (Not in SV by the way). The advice is "Suffer now, enjoy later". What you get to enjoy now seems fine however you might want to put off the gratification of that for a future whereby you have more freedom as a result of choices that you make when you are younger. (I didn't surface for 6 years worked 7 days a week at what I did (not in SV) and it has payed off pretty well with the freedom to do what I want now..)
- gnarbarian 11y agoFair enough. My folks are old already and I've been in the industry almost 10 years now. I only have so many years of skiing hunting and fishing with them left. I could trade those years for some money in the bank but for me it wouldn't be worth it.
