As the Butthole Surfers teach us: "It's better to regret something you have done, than to regret something you haven't done."[1] Or to put it another way: money comes, money goes - the real opportunity cost here is your time, and the intellectual fire burning obviously burning very deep in you somewhere that propelled you to take the application process as far as you already have. So with that framework in mind - and since already you already have the opportunity lined up - go ahead and get that PhD. Who knows, you just might learn something, and end up making a dent in the universe. If it doesn't turn out to be to your liking - you can always go back to the fleshpots of FAANG.
