> The odds of getting a six figure payout at a startup is lower than the odds of getting a six figure annual salary at bigco.

Well-funded, small start-ups that are high growth can still get to 80% of "bigco" salaries--well into six figures. If you are fine on a bit less (which is still a LOT more than many make), then you can also get more freedom and a few lottery tickets thrown in.

Some even build a "diversified portfolio" out of those tickets.
