    My career has jumped between startups and FAANG-likes. All the wealth I ever built up was from stock options at the FAANG-likes. I've never made anything from the startups.

    But the jump-steps in career advancement came from the startups. There's where I had huge opportunities to learn and grow and do new things. I learned and grew a lot at the FAANGs too (except Amazon), but the huge jumps came from startups.

    In my n=1, FAANG-like stock options are the best way to grow your wealth.

    Is this article being gamed? Reads like meandering gibberish and void of any facts.
