Cool though it always surprised me how poorly treated USA employees are when it comes to stock when compared to the UK I have a friend who made about 3x that in a FTSE 100 company over the same timeframe a 5 year share save (paid a lot less tax as well) I did enjoy at one point in the first dot com boom being a dollar millionaire along with the rest of the poptel coop.

Good for you! Scrappy young me fresh out of college was willing to do anything. I wasnt a CS student, self taught coder. I grinded HARD for a couple years. But hey you are a 23 year old smelly dude with long hair. Nobody likes you anyways. Might as well work a lot on things you love! Now at 28, I would still say experience was worth it. However again im' not the CS degree 4.0 straight to FAANG guy who can make 100/yr (or whatever it is) straight from college. I had to hustle a bit to gain the codebro skillz & then find a job. I didnt have FAANG kissing my ass to pay me out the wazoo to 'change the world' with 'machine learning and AI'. News flash, yall are just selling shit , you aint changing the world. You just make really large paychecks and get pampered :p
