8 years old with no tech experience, too late for FAANG and >300k TC?

Hi everyone.

I go to a top feeder elementary school and I’m hoping to get multiple offers from FAANG with >300k TC. I'm trying to transfer to a target middle school soon so I can work my way into an elite prep HS -> HYPS -> FAANG. I just got a piggy bank but a few friends already have internships lined up and I don't want to fall behind. Trying to grind LC and browse Blind in my spare time but my parents limit my internet to 1 hour a day.

I've lined up a few options for next summer:

Option 1:
Local public sector position: I got a mail route in my neighborhood and dad just taught me how to ride a bike so I'll be able to leverage that. Terrible resume value, afraid I'll be pigeonholed into government work and never make it in tech/SV. Early hours aren't great (5am standup) but might be good discipline in preparation for LC grinding when I get older. Non-tech. Slow career growth.

Option 2:
Startup biz dev: Noah from down the street has an older brother with a 3D printer. He makes custom Fortnite figurines and sells them. Needs a guy to help expand to other playgrounds. The travel is a perk but concerned about risky stock options and comp. Non-tech again. Can’t get anyone to let me write code but can get my foot in the door at a potential unicorn here.

I'm getting a tired from my sugar crash and need to nap soon but any advice would greatly appreciated. TC 0 with 0 YOE. Ran out of internet for today so I will reply tomorrow.

Thanks,
Timmy

Any one that has spent any amount of time on the Blind app will understand how funny this post is and its subtle digs on Blind stereotypes.
