Corporate jobs do have their perks. Especially in the Bay Area, they give you access to the following:
1) A green card if you're not a US citizen (this one's really important for foreigners).
2) Starting capital (savings), if you want to later start a startup. If you're single and live in SV, you can save substantially. Maybe you can start a company with no money, but I imagine it's harder.
3) Connections/networking. You get to work with a lot of smart people. Again, if you want to start a startup, this helps (it's easier to have 1-2 cofounders, than do it alone). For example, Valve was founded by a couple of ex-Microsoft engineers.
