> You don't think it's plausible Sure it's _plausible_. I even used to think that kind of thing was _possible_, long ago. But I've come to the conclusion since that it's virtually impossible to "scale down" your income like that. And that you can't actually choose to accept lower pay to obtain more options (in software anyway), contrary to highly plausible economic theories. Do you have any real world evidence other than that it sounds plausible?
