Please do. I honestly want to hear. I am debating whether to join a startup again for my next job or just crank Leetcode and go FAANG and stay for the rest of my life there.

Unless you’re 80, you’re not going to spend the rest of your life at Facebook or Google. Imagine someone in 2004 saying they’re going to work the rest of their life at MySpace or Yahoo.

There are 100% people who have spent their entire career at Microsoft who are financially extremely well connected and financially set for it. Folks who have been there from 1995-2015 and beyond. Don't underestimate the possibility of doing something similar, whether for MSFT or somewhere else.
