On a sidenote, apparently everyone leaving FAANG becomes an investor. In comparison, ten years in a similarly-sized company in europe might buy you a slightly-larger-than-average house.
I don’t live with regret but sometimes I do wonder why I spent so much of my career not chasing those sweet stock options or doing the (relatively small) studying to get into a FAANG
It feels like a cheat code to retirement.
Anyways, no regrets ;)
