ithrowitforfreeon Ask HN: How do you deal with missing out on the Facebook money train?

Good thing I don't live in the SF Bay Area. I would be way more regretful if I lived there, 'coz it would be a double blow.

Ha, almost makes me feel bad that I made a throwaway a/c for this. Thanks!

About your first point: a friend who joined in April 2009 and is now Engineering Manager says he stands to make about $10M if the valuation of $100B persists when he gets to sell.

I do often think about the non-monetary aspects of my life, and feel better knowing I'm not in terrible shape socially or financially. Thing may or may not have been similar on the non-financial front had I worked at FB - obviously, I'll never know.

Of course. That doesn't mean I can't regret or think about decisions of the past, right?
