Huh? You don't think real careers making good money exist? I don't know what to tell you.
But the main issue here is that someone without any special skills ended up making a shitload of money as a fluke by working at Binance for a short period of time. It's very unlikely they're going to be able to get another job even nearly that good, let alone more jobs 20% better, because they don't actually have real marketable skills and it was just a fluke.
My annual comp increases at FAANG are not 20%, but they have been consistent increases of roughly $45,000 a year, for little effort. I suppose it is a trap, but I am still content.
