I graduated 1.5 years ago and I can tell you that FAANGs still pay 99% better than other jobs, also offering H1B sponsorship.

Sign on bonuses are a bit lower but still significant

I think a lot of people who are smart and ambitious would make great founders. But I also find that many people attracted to FAANG roles are looking for a comfortable lifestyle, and a bit risk averse. 

How would you quantify better payoff as a founder?
