> so before aiming for millions aim for 85K. yeah a far cry from the FAANG wage - but one - you will never get laid off.

People making 85K absolutely get laid off.

I think they're saying that you should build a small business which nets you 85k, not find an employer that underpays you.

(Whether this makes you more resistant to being "fired" is still up for debate of course.)

Small businesses have difficulties all the time.

Yeah.

"The market" lays you off - or heavily reduces your salary.
