Well, as someone who just left a 750k USD a year at a FAANG with a clear path to making 2MM+ in 5 years or so, I disagree.

I am in my early 30s and have a wife and kids. At some point, your relationship with money changes. I am now more concerned about my own legacy and the example I’m giving my kids than whether my net worth in 10 years will be 2 or 20 million.

I’m also more deliberate about how I use my time. So I’m perfectly content in doing something that will net me “only” 250k or so a year.

The irony is that this might net me more if I decide to come back to a FAANG in the future.
