A. Go work at a growth stage startup, i.e. Series A or close to it. You can commit really hard to work here. Double down whenever you can. Parlay that into bigger roles later. Crucially, aim to grow continuously here, you're trading off cash for growth so you have to get the growth.

B. Work at a FAANG. You'll get serious dollars. Use that to build long runway. Run company later or just FIRE yourself to peace.

Don't waste time on rinky dink stuff right now.
