And let me add, I've never heard of a bootstrapped startup taking less than 7 years to reach $1MM ARR, with many years of dirt poor earnings. You're likely to get to a million faster with a FAANG job with stock options if you're good at interviews.

Mine took about 2 years, from 2000-2002. I finally sold it last year so I won’t mention the name, but I’ve been doing the four hour work week since 2001. I sold an eBay-related service during the bottom of the first dot com crash. No one else was willing to charge for access to a web service at that time except maybe Wall Street Journal.
