That’s a choice. This isn’t a story about someone poor who needs to work at McDonalds to make ends meet to feed their family. We are talking about the top earners in the world who made a decision to make more money than working at a competitor (Google/Apple/Microsoft/etc) where they would still be in the top 1% of earners.
It was a choice. I chose it and I wish it was never a choice I considered.
If you worked at Meta and couldn't find a job for a year, its not because of Meta.
