    Yes, you’re talking about a personal “payout” thats probably only 2-3 years of a salary? That’s not much of a “payout” that’s just a nicer severance package. If you built a company that wasn’t about to go under, it’s not worth handing it to some asshole for practically nothing

        Software engineers at FAANG companies easily make that amount. And that’s the caliber of engineer that is typically making this type of exit.

        You’re commenting as if your circumstances are the same as a tech bro founder’s, which seems to be incorrect.
