This I believe is the core of the issue. Thanks for helping out a stranger on the web - I really appreciate it.
> why not try to join one instead of dealing with the headache of founding one
While I'm not primarily money motivated, joining an early stage startup is really a bad decision for my individual case (assuming I can go back to FAANG as an EM/Dir+). IMO startup founders have a significantly better deal when compared to employee #1. I get that it's also much harder to be a founder than an employee but I would argue that it's worth at best 5-10x if you're an employee < 10-15.
