Do I understand you correctly? After all that's happened in the last 12 months in Big Tech you tell them to pursue cheap Fed money infused talent hoarding jobs at FAANG companies?

As opposed to working for non profitable startups?

The second part is that I tell them to save aggressively and diversify themselves by selling their RSUs as soon as they vest. They wouldn’t use 25% of their cash salary to buy their company stock, why keep your shares once they vest?

I sell all of my RSUs within the six months after they vest and diversify

I would much rather to have loved and to have lost than to never have loved at all. I used every penny of the after tax difference between my “enterprise job” I had in 2020 and my BigTech job that I got then to “increase my net worth”. If I lost my job , it would have been a good three years.
