I see all these 5yoe making 5m TC That is all acquihires your penis mongering about TC is irrelevant to people who founded a startup and got acquired . You will never make that jobbing
Risk vs reward. You also are making peanuts TC prior to being acquired with possibility of no acquisition.
OP: Why does it upset you if someone else has a 5M TC? That has no effect on your life.
It does? Higher prices for housing?
The legend is sharing knowledge once again. What a time to be alive.
