I’ve seen many people climb the SWE ladder or build a YC company (having done both myself), and trust me the founder route is not the most efficient. You only believe this because you didn’t see the 2 failed startups and 10 year journey gri

In practice, I don’t think tax policy is the primary driver for where people chose to live. Even very wealthy people. If I were very wealthy the first thing I would want to buy is proximity to the people I love, the food I like, the culture
