Point by point:
1. IQ is going to be in the 120-130 range for MIT and other FAANG target schools (https://www.iqcomparisonsite.com/occupations.aspx https://www.iqcomparisonsite.com/occupations.aspx and factor in the GPA necessary and those correlations). If you are NOT from those schools, you are less competitive and have more to catch up on (like me). Whatever you say, either you had a lot of study free time or your IQ is higher than you think, as IQ translates directly to learning speed, especially on computer-related tasks.
2. Big deal. For a young student out of school? No, it's the rational choice, though a lot of people out of school/college NEED to work to keep the bills paid. For older people - dedicating a good 3-4 hours a day is going to lead them to underperform at work (at least it would for me), so it's kind of a big risk.
The pay increase is also "debatable", arguments like COL, vesting, decrease in quality of life due to commute, relatively-high (by non-FAANG) standards salary, taxes, etc come up. And that's without mentioning potential kids.
