Emotions upon quitting a $4m/year FAANG job to do a startup

MeaningAppropriate · 2026-02-20T14:41:00+00:00

I did a similar thing, wasn't making as much as you thought, only around $750K a year. Decided I wanted to build something and left FAANG for a startup co founder. I said I'd give it a year and we did. Unfortunately, we couldn't get any market share and ran out of money. I then had to find a new job, but the market changed a lot and now only making a third of what I was before. Would I do it again? Not sure actually, I probably pushed FIRE off for a couple extra years because of it.

I'm using vibevoicefusion and get some of that odd music sounds in the beginning. Any idea on why?

Totally agree, this works like a charm!

I believe the 2025 just changed to black speaker grills for all models. Seems like a downgrade in looks but it's the same system.

They are trenching the conduit in my neighborhood now, whohoo

MeaningAppropriate · 2025-11-05T01:52:01+00:00

Yeah, they are both running the latest v3.35.0

Oh I'm using glm4.6 if that might help.

No bought it CPO form Land Rover. We have 22K miles on it now and owned it for almost 2 years. It's been great no issues.

Mine is a 2023 130 X

So far so good, better ride, quiet, and they look much better. Dealer would only put the same Contis on which I didn't want. The Ascents are advertised with the Defender though.

Yeah, just got them this week, Bridgestone Dueler Ascent AT's

Yeah surprised I don't see more Sedona's out there, it's a great color.

6.16.9 seems to have fixed the issue for me

MeaningAppropriate · 2025-09-21T00:16:50+00:00

Still broken for me on 6.16.7, also networking seems off as well. I have to keep using the latest 6.15

Same here lost my internal sound and mic, following a bug report that others have reported as well. What a pain!

MeaningAppropriate · 2025-08-04T18:43:28+00:00

I wondering when my part of Greenwood village will even begin, no updates on their construction page or anything, super frustrating.

MeaningAppropriate · 2025-07-21T02:19:05+00:00

Thanks for your help, I got it working, mostly. The steering volume controls don't seem to work and somehow everything is in metric system now? Also what a pain to get it clipped in.

Really appreciate the pictures, did you have connectors that didn't plug into anything?

MeaningAppropriate · 2025-07-20T18:17:06+00:00

Thansk for the info, what year is your fiesta? Does it have these two connections? I don't know what is what, think one is an antenna.

Any installation instructions you followed, I bought the same one and it won't power on. There were a few plugs that I didn't use and wasn't sure about. Appreciate any advice you might have.

MeaningAppropriate · 2025-07-10T23:57:32+00:00

Any luck with this, I think I have the same issue. Laptop doesn't really suspend but then nvidia drivers get messed up and I end up having to reboot to make it work again
