On a sidenote, apparently everyone leaving FAANG becomes an investor. In comparison, ten years in a similarly-sized company in europe might buy you a slightly-larger-than-average house.

Lol. That's wishful thinking. You'd be lucky to get a 2 bed apartment in a not-terrible area with pretty bad sound proofing for that.

Unless you move out the areas where the tech companies are at(which is generally in dense cities).

I don’t live with regret but sometimes I do wonder why I spent so much of my career not chasing those sweet stock options or doing the (relatively small) studying to get into a FAANG

It feels like a cheat code to retirement.

Anyways, no regrets ;)
