> Yay you're citing lottery winners

You do realise that I can only cite lottery winners to make my point?

> What I mean by 'go do the best thing you can do now', doesn't exclude working for yourself or starting that company that becomes your biggest thing also.

I guess, then, we are on the same boat and agree with each other?

The salaries in the US are significant [0]... but the barrier to entry is lower than before, that it doesn't hurt to try. If one is a staff eng at BigTech, they probably are worth more money than what they get paid.
