Working for a big company in the US is massively underrated. Over time, most people working in these companies will be much better off financially and with less stress/health issues.

The silicon valley/tech bubble over-romanticizes entrepreneurship without realizing its NOT for everyone.

For every 1 success story you hear about entrepreneurship, there are 50-100 that fail. The stress and anxiety is not something everyone can or should take if they have the opportunity to coast at FAANG and make $500K+.

How many businesses make $500K in revenue in the US? Not many? [1]

I am paraphrasing here, but I really agree with how Scott Galloway put it: The US corporation is the greatest wealth creating vehicle in history. Way safer and easier to build wealth working at Google.

Giving "StArt a BusZineaSs BRO" as a blanket advice is very disingenuous.

[1] In 2018, 9% of small businesses made more than $1 million. https://www.smallbizgenius.net/by-the-numbers/small-business...

Note: Many statistics online say the number is actually fewer than 5%!
