I joined in 2009, but close enough haha. Yeah I was there when it was cool, and left shortly after the 2016 election when the sentiment towards FB turned negative. Yeah my stock 100X'd so I have to say it worked out quite well. There is lot more inequality here compared to Canada and what "money" means has changed a lot in my mind. More so than the comp though, it was really a magical experience where my what I was good at was a great fit for Facebook at the time. I learned so much, contributed a lot, and made a lot of lifelong friends.
