> It's been interesting watching the "I should work for a startup" to "I should work for FAANG" over the past decade.

I would be interested in your thoughts on this. Is it because of salary, opportunity or security?

I am outside the Bay area.

I think it's do to two reasons: 1) salary at FAANG can be 2-3x what a startup can offer, granted that's in the Bay Area; and 2) there's been more then a few examples of equity not being structured in a way that is beneficial to early employees. Sam Altman even has a blog post that says startup equity needs a revamp.
