This is a great example of the narrative fallacy that governs Silicon Valley. 

We sell mission and vision as so important but it’s a lie. All companies get reduced to the same basic economic equation - your time for their money. 

In this, we are all hyper predictable creatures and no amount of mission and vision will supersede the ability to build generational wealth for oneself and one’s family when given the chance. 

Turning down gobs of money is a luxury belief for the foolish or the already rich.
