Nevertheless, some people will do it better at 29 than at 22, and others will excel at another age. We're all different.
When the time comes for you, if it ever does, you'll know.
> You've grown accustomed to a certain lifestyle and friend group that will be hard to walk away from.
> You've lost skills having worked with some internal tech stack your entire career and don't know how to do anything.
> Skills you learn at your FAANG equivalent job don't transfer over to entrepreneurship its just a different domain.

Can confirm all of the above (except lifestyle inflation, I watch that carefully). At this point, it really does make more sense to grind for a few more years, go have a nice FIRE and then maybe work on something on your own just for fun. So, essentially, golden handcuffs all the way.
Once you have saved that amount of money your only going to be a 'few' more years from hitting some version of FIRE.
You've grown accustomed to a certain lifestyle and friend group that will be hard to walk away from.
You've lost skills having worked with some internal tech stack your entire career and don't know how to do anything.
Skills you learn at your FAANG equivalent job don't transfer over to entrepreneurship its just a different domain.
You've never actually 'worked hard' and it's just going to seem plain silly to quit your 250k+ job to work all the time when the chances of success are low.
People who get into entrepreneurship generally can't stand their jobs and have ideas running through their head all the time to the point where going to the job is pure torture.
Why not work at a FAANG equivalent company for long enough to give you 2-3 years of runway and then take the plunge? The longer you wait the less likely you are to do it.
