Hmm, if you have been working for 20 years and you're at FAANG making $350k/yr, how come you aren't close to financial independence? Sure, the bay area is expensive, but not that expensive. Have you joined your current company only very recently? IMHO, financial independence does not mean "Having a fuck-you money to do whatever I want, whenever I do." It's more about managing your own expectation. |

Yes. ~4.5 years. Prior was small companies.

In the words of JL Collins (youtube him for fu money) ,to me , it’s about operating from a place where you have options to say no to things that does not interest you. I would still work but not for “the man” and deal with the politics and be on the receiving end of task given by people who are above me simply trying to further their agenda and/or have no idea the real need of the organization/team/customer etc
