I guess this observation doesn’t really apply to the FAANGs quite as much. They have such an insatiable demand for labor that it’s much easier to work your way up to more money consistently over time.

I guess you just find the level you want to coast at. I haven’t won the start up lottery either. But I have been able to be fully employed as a contractor with a very good hourly rate for quite a long time. Which probably means I’m coasting right now. But I still manage to bump my rates up every so often, so maybe not.

Seems like you are doing pretty well. Coasting means different things to different people, do what’s right for you. Just make sure there are no regrets later, life is too short for that.

Sometimes that means coasting and spending more time on your hobbies or with your family. Can’t see anything wrong with that.
