    Not sure why this is downvoted. It’s a lifestyle choice that is a genuine choice. You don’t have to live in SF if it’s not for you.

      Yeah I don’t get it. You can also work for established companies where you get steady income instead of volatile stocks but you’re not going to be able to retire super early with a work life balance that way

        Exactly. I got a drive by downvote which is a shame. Some people are in a situation where they’re happy to take a risk, and know that if it fails they won’t be destitute, and sometimes you might be paid more to account for the risk. Or less, but you get stock options to account for the risk. They’re all valid options as long as you’re not forced into it.
