13 years and you only get $2M? No thanks, that's far too little for such a large ask.
I wouldn't do it for two reasons. First, it would be working at Google (which is a work environment I would very much dislike). And second, I have a temperament that allows me to start businesses. My first profitable business was five years of working (admittedly) more than 80 hours a week. I personally made a little more than $2M from it.
That return wasn't monetarily worth my sacrifices, but if we're talking about giving up my life for money, I'd do that instead of doing it for someone else's company.
All of which is to say that everyone is different! Just, to me, the question was "am I willing to not have a happy life for 13 years in exchange for $2M". No, I'm not. If the alternative is a life of making minimum wage, but living, I'd do that.
My bullshit tolerance is extremely low.
The only reason I work at BigTech now (at 49) was because the recruiter suggested a remote position in cloud consulting with no on call.
When I do leave here, it will probably be for a smaller company.
I didn’t have millions in the bank to make that decision. I was working for a small startup that offered 5 weeks PTO.
But you know what they did? They have been married for 50+ years never seemed to be overly stressed about their jobs, lived in the same house since 1978 (which they expanded in 2006) and retired at 55.
