    ,,I'm having a midlife crisis (after being fired from Facebook, as a millionaire).''

    Quite a story he went through, in the last year.
    (don't want to spoil too much, details in his channel's video list)

    He should try to start trading for a living.

    It will make him wish he could go back to his old problems.

    I wanted to mention, but, most likely more than half of the people in here, those who are familiar with him, knows that he did so, failed - admitted & decided to never come back (?)

    Sometimes I feel these videos are all just made up for views and clicks and extra dollars, content today is so saturated that it seems you can do anything and say anything and people will still value your useless dribble. Oh and make sure.you touch that 10 minute mark each and everytime you create content or else.

    That guy popped up on my feed I think from some programming. Kind of funny to start every video and repeat 10x a video that your an “ Ex google ex Facebook tech lead millionaire”. Think that’s the channel is just people watching some guy ramble about nothing.

    Watched first bit of that video other day, kind of funny to talk about midlife crisis then move right into a quick message from his sponsors lol.

    I’m real tempted to just go get a camera and start a channel. I could unbox things, maybe just review trading products and offer no real information or value. Maybe start a bogus trading course. I keep getting these raging bulls I think it’s called commercials. Looks like they have actors and no idea how they find so many actors to help scam people into trading courses.

    I could also just film my daily life, blow stuff up with guns, react to other videos.

    I feel like if you just keep trying, some channels bound to take off lol.

    He did trade. He lost something like $350k if I recall correctly.

    How does a google project lead earn 1MM in net worth?

    From what I can tell the salaries are around 200k. And with expenses in the Bay Area being so high, its unlikely the lead is saving anything. So his net worth is probably coming from equity and option grants.

    To earn 1MM net worth through equity grants (say over the last 5 years), he would have to receive about 160k each year in equity grants.

    Is that how these companies work?
