Cults typically don't pay 400k+ total comp.

For 400k, I can look the other way for a couple of years to build up a safety net, then peace out to a company with a better work-life balance.

I imagine that's what a lot of people are doing with FAANGs.

Until you realize most people stay less then a year and most of that money goes to taxes and rent if working in person.

Cults and FAANGs offer a similiar vision of a rosey future that will not come to pass for the average person.
