If we reduce people to pure levels of drive and motivation, maybe it’s a reasonable comparison.

However, in my experience the types of people who thrive in climbing the corporate ladder (Facebook included as a bureaucratic corporation) are very different from the types of people who seek out building their own successful companies. There’s less overlap between the two personality types than you might expect.
