Yeah? On paper, 401k, or elsewhere? Where have they worked and for how long?

Because in my experience, the “everyone who works at a FAANG is a multi-millionaire” meme is 100% bullshit. Especially when I read things like https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26336029

I never said everybody is, but I do think most people who have been at FAANG or companies that pay in the same ballpark like trendy late stage pre-ipo companies for 10+ years are or are close (especially if we define multimillionaire as >2m networth including 401k and house equity, and include household wealth for married couples).

My other comment you linked I still stand by. But you don't need to be IC6/L6/E6, refreshers and equity appreciation are very powerful if you are lucky enough to get both.

What company uses the scale in this comment? (IC5 IC6 IC7 etc)

[Zanneth]

At least Apple does. I'm not sure if other companies use it as well.

It's not the Apple scale though. I mean, it looks like it, but the details are different.
