Just Missed Millions: People Who Left Early Jobs at Billion-Dollar Companies

By Alyson Shontell

Ali Fedotowsky walked away from Facebook (and probably most of her stock options) when she opted to be ABC's Bachelorette.

Robert Cezar Matei missed his chance to join early Facebook, Square and Instagram teams.
Missing millions hurts. Some people, like Kevin Systrom, went on to make millions after turning down early start-up jobs.

Most live in regret, knowing they let millions of dollars slip through their fingers. Click on the image below for a slideshow of eight talented professionals who came close to being millionaires.



Tech professionals that missed out on making millions of dollars at Facebook, Pinterest, and Instagram

Amanda Wixted - Instagram

Amanda Wixted - Instagram


Instagram wanted Amanda Wixted to be its first hire but she was cozy at Zynga. First, we should note that Wixted is plenty successful. She joined Zynga as an early employee and stayed through its IPO. But she probably could have made even MORE millions if she had left for Instagram when it offered in 2010.
    Wixted writes about her missed opportunity on Quora:
"In June 2010, Mike and Kevin were just getting started on their mobile web app which they called Burbn. I was a lead engineer on the mobile team at Zynga at the time.  Mike contacted me about coming on board as their first hire.  We met, and they showed me their ideas for where they were thinking of heading with Burbn: a photo-sharing app. ... It was a great team fit, but I just couldn't get excited about a photo-sharing app. I felt, and I still feel, that I need to be working on more complicated things, so I've stayed in the games space. Of course, I'm kicking myself now. Hindsight is 20/20 and all."

Ali Fedotowsky - Facebook


In 2009, Ali Fedotowsky faced a dilemma. She was a contestant on The Bachelor dating pilot Jake Palveka.
In a tearful goodbye, she left Palveka to return to her job at Facebook. Fedotowsky had run out of vacation days while filming the show and didn't want to miss out on millions.
    But when ABC offered to make her its Bachelorette, Fedotowsky left her sales rep gig at Facebook, probably along with her stock options. She joined the company in July 2009 and left around March 2010.
    Fedotowsky's engagement to contestant Roberto Martinez ended a few months ago and while Facebook didn't re-hire her, she's now a host on NBC's 1st Look.

    Julian Targowski was offered a role at Instagram last October but walked away to launch his own app.  He says he wasn't even interested in the offer because he was loyal to his own team.
    "I don't regret a thing," he says on Quora. "You realize a lot of things about yourself (how content you are with your current situation, how hard you're working, where you want to be in the next few years, etc) when things like this happen."

    Sahil Lavingia - Pinterest

    Sahil Lavingia - Pinterest


    Sahil Lavingia has a buzzy startup now that's raised $8 million from Silicon Valley investors, Gumroad. To start Gumroad, Lavingia had to walk away from his position as the #2 employee at Pinterest.  His timing could have been better. Lavingia left Pinterest about one month shy of his 1 year mark at the company. That means none of his stock options vested.
        Hopefully he'll make it back on Gumroad. Meanwhile, Pinterest's valuation is skyrocketing.  Gumroad only has 3 full-time employees. Last month it only had one, founder Sahil Lavingia (second from left).


 
Joshua Inkenbrandt turned down Instagram to become an engineer at Pinterest. Like Wixted, we should note that Inkenbrandt will be just fine. He chose Pinterest over Instagram, which should yield a decent multi-million payout of its own.
    But with Instagram, he could have been a millionaire already. Inkenbrandt writes on Quora: “I chose to work at Pinterest over Instagram. It was not an easy decision by any means because I really like Instagram and the guys who built it. I'll keep my reasons for choosing Pinterest to myself, but I will say that I don't regret the decision.”

        Other Roads to Riches


These guys turned down Facebook but made millions other ways:
Kevin Systrom turned down Facebook and later sold his company, Instagram, to Zuckerberg for $1 billion.
Mike Abbott became Twitter's head of engineering.
Steve Chen worked for Facebook for a few months then founded YouTube, which he sold to Google for $1.6 billion.
