My goal for years has been to get to financial independence as quickly as possible. I'm 30 and work in tech, and have a useful skillset to build something on my own. I was planning to do this in my late 20s, but I joined a company that both pays top of band and rewards high performers quite well. My total compensation has gone up almost 6X since I started, and will likely continue at that trajectory. For context, i'm at around 650k right now. There is *plenty* of room still to grow.
I know that I'm still giving away my time (and likely health), but it feels increasingly hard to walk away from what feels like a rocketship. I'm wondering if there are any other folks that were in high paying high growth corporate situations, and chose to walk away. Could this be a situation where continuing to slog away is still the right path forward?
