You are completely detached from the real world. Even in super rich countries like the US there are a lot of people without savings, living paycheck to paycheck. Most/all software engineers outside the US can only dream of ever earning that much money. And yet here you are, worrying that you'll end up only slightly richer than people earning ~$1M per year.

>And yet here you are, worrying that you'll end up only slightly richer than people earning ~$1M per year.

onlyrealcuzzo is comparing 2 things:

* Being a founder and working mega hours and having no life (e.g. no spouse or kids) and having a decent chance of losing most of your money as the company fails.

* Working at FAANG and making a lot of money while not having to work too much.

onlyrealcuzzo is saying the second option is better.

I don't think you fully understand the context in which this was written, but you probably should before passing so much judgement.

You're saying joining a startup is going to result in success?

Talk about detached from reality.

A 30k job at a local dev shop in Poland is going to reward you more than most startups in the US.
