> In my experience rich people are very 'outcomes focused'. They almost always expect something in return.

That's a pretty sad way to live. I mean, I guess when I'm back home and the "rich" person in the room (I went from rural america to FAANG salary), I just want people to enjoy themselves and not think about price when we're at a nice restaurant. That's the "outcome" I want.

Back in the bay area, the rich people in the room never seem to want anything in return for their hospitality. At most they want to hire me, but there's no expectation there.

Your experience (or maybe incorrect thought) is not what I've seen.
