Extreme risk is driving truck in Iraq or smuggling drugs to Singapore. Working in air conditioned office for double median US salary is not extreme risk by any means.

With that I agree with you that upside is often lower than people expect.

I think we're talking about the risk level when compared to various ways to work at a tech company, not risk level when compared against all possible occupations.
