On the flip side, what percentage of people who go down the management route actually end up as CEO of a company that can pay hundreds of millions? Is that number larger than the percentage of developers who strike it big by being one of the first devs at a unicorn? I don't know the answer to these questions, but I do know that both percentages are small enough to be virtually zero in the terms of a single life. Considering that, I am happy to be doing work that I like for a wage that something like 95% of people in this country would envy.
