FanDuel sold for $465M in 2018. Founders got $0. Zero. - 10 years of 80-hour weeks. - Raised hundreds of millions. - Built a billion-dollar business. Liquidation preferences ate everything. Meanwhile, a FAANG principal engineer over that decade: $8-10M in total comp. 40-hour weeks. No board. No fundraising. No risk. The 'big exit' is a lottery ticket. W2 tech is the actual wealth path for most people.
