FANG pays top notch and dominates TC bragging and envy here in Blind. I am sure there are many millionaires here who made it rich without FANG TC. Whether you won a lottery, invested right, started your own company, joined a startup at the right time, won big in gambling, made it big as influencer in YouTube/Tiktok, or saved enough from your non-FANG TC to make those millions, this thread is for you to share your story and inspire.
I made $200 off a pump and dump scheme. I felt pretty rich.
Elon?
Upstart people made millions within this year alone.
And I rejected them in early 2019😤
For liberty mutual, where you have sub $170K salary and nothing else. Damn, feels bad
Know plenty of people who joined Affirm, Asana, Roblox etc in the past few years and made $1M+ in RSUs alone. I made a couple millions in primary home plus rental property investments appreciation.
Any other unicorns yet to IPO ?
Databricks Stripe Brex Chime Plaid AirTable Scale
I was born in Venezuela.
Me too!
@ajHfsl3 de q parte chamo? Same to u @YuVj22
It's too late to be "rich" from FANG (unless you are a director or above). There is much more upside in pre IPO companies
Not true. It’s like saying it’s too late to be rich from real estate because the market is saturated unless you own an estate. Just for little context - Cost of living varies likewise brain & luck. Btwn, all the next millionaires needs is some spare change/cash to try something new & that change could come from FAANG. Whether that cash is invested is lottery or stocks or crypto - the outcome- a millionaire from FAANG- is still valid.
Not at all. Jusr get to E5 or E6 and hold all ur stocks for 10 years You will be loaded And yolo on OTM calls on meme stocks w cash tc just for fun
Non-faang here. Currently working two full-time jobs (working for no name companies) and making over 500k a year with 5 yoe.
Two full time jobs? What are you one of those mutants who only needs 4 hours of sleep?
Two no name companies paying you that much money? How do you find them, I’m ready
Honestly it was great if you got into fang 4-5 years before . Now it seems like there are higher paying roles with bigger upside everywhere else
Like where
There are tons of startups disrupting so many industries. Stripe plaid upstart etc for fintech
