1.) Be good at what you do.
2.) Be even better at leetcode.
3.) Interview during a downturn, when everybody's stock is in the toilet and all the companies that are about to go bankrupt aren't hiring.
4.) Get multiple competing offers.
5.) Play them off against each other. Turn them down if you have to.
6.) Get as much stock as you can in the counteroffer.
7.) Wait for the upturn, where the company's stock goes parabolic.
8.) Profit.
#3 and #7 are the most important. Timing and luck are better than skill. But you usually need #1 and #2 to accomplish #4 during #3, and you need #4/5 to get #6, which is what really makes you the big bucks in #7.
