Anyone Experience building startup and switching back to job

I was Ex-MSFT , i have founded a software consulting firm and because of god grace i was able to get good clients and annual revenue reached to 1 Million USD. I have not raised any funding neither i need to. I am planning to go back to job and get higher level based on previous startup experience probably l6 at amazon or l7. I am 9yoe. My question is does companies values startup experience if you have successfully delivered project to client and have 10 developers in your team , which generated million usd as revenue? How do they validate experience of having a startup with their expectations can i negotiate based on revenue or salary drawn by me? Having own startup is valued in india or its considered gap?

Depends on why you want to get back to job

This reason cannot be used for bargaining salary and without competing offers you will be treated just like any other person based on interviews performance.

Companies will value relevant experience example - did u get adoption for new products that you built? Were your products successful? Can u elaborate what consulting did your firm do?

Story looks good but you also need to be able to talk big - strategy/growth/prospects & dive deep on issues/disagreements/ scale etc

The best way is to apply and talk to employers. Also, 1 MM is not a big revenue and why are you not trying to market, sell better to increase revenues ?
