When I chose Facebook, I believed that Uber was a better offer. A $100B+ valuation for them seemed plausible to me. I thought I was going to be making $35-55k less.
So, I actually was not a genius here. It was total luck.
People rarely examine their non-decisions ("what would my life be like if I went left at that fork in the road?"), and I thought this was a particularly clear-cut example of that.

right. what was the moral lesson of this story? that I should flip coins for profit or that the FAANGs are prone to hiring millennials who don't share the same shame as my generation in discussing their financials so openly?

No moral lesson here - I suppose my point is that you rarely get to have such a clear-cut comparison of what would've happened if you took the other path at the fork in the road.
I can see where it comes off as gloating, though. Do you think I should modify this to focus more on the fork aspect? (genuine question)

it's hard to make a story about you making money compelling unless you have something to share that can help others get there too. there's not too much of that here (and i'm not sure there could be in this case)

That's a good point - I added a small conclusion which possibly helps.
