Even a super well funded startup isn’t going to pay you half of what you’re making at a FAANG if you’re at that level, even for a VP job. The best a startup will be able to do is mid 200s, maybe 300. Why not just stay at a FAANG if you’re already there and coasting? I couldn’t mentally handle working for a FAANG but if you’ve done it long enough and well enough to get to $600k per year you might at well just stick it out until you’re 40 and then retire.
