> The odds are always against you—especially given how much one can make in FAANG, it's a particularly difficult time to make any kind of expected-value argument for working at a startup. This kind of advice often assumes that it is easy for anyone to get a FAANG job. I got rich from a startup, before that I was working for a bigger companies and I'm very sure that I would never have been successful in that game. I'm fairly sure that corporate jobs work out for quite different persons.
