I'm sorry that your wife is fighting cancer. It's terrible and i wish you overcome it together.

But other than that i don't get the article. You are a software engineer in US. You are part of the elite, you have top salary, you will probably never have to worry about job security and money. You can make decent savings. You have powers to build your own business. Something a few billions other people don't have. Yet you are crying like a baby that you maybe got a bit screwed. Take it as a lesson for your next interviews and employments with other big and rich technology companies. It's not like you spent your whole life there.
