“You’ll never get rich working for someone else” is one of the most repeated lies I’ve ever seen. I used to believe this, but after seeing first hand friends and colleagues, for lack of a better word, get rich by being employee number 30 at a startup or working as an engineer at Amazon Detroit for 8 years and just saving their money I realized this is wrong.

You 100% can become a multi millionare as an employee. You can go the SV route and make $300k+ as an engineer or go the traditional route and make $100k working as an engineer remotely in a low cost of living location.
