Well, I enjoy - enojoyed - working at startups far more than faang for quite some time. The stress was easier to navigate and I felt like I had more levers to learn and grow than I did at Faang.

However, times have changed - I want different things in life now. The point of a job is to make money consistently and provide some level of calm. Optimizing for that now since I'm tired of making blind startup bets.

Why else would anyone work anywhere besides for the money unless it’s a non profit?
