What are the chances that a person reaches that kind of salary? And how does it compare to chances of person making it big in startups? I don't know, because I don't have the data, but intuitively I think the chances and expected value for both is pretty close. E.g if you're a smart person and a good engineer you're likely to land a good paying FAANG job or become an early employee at a hot startup.
