> The big dilemma right now is there’s little funding available that can compete with the salaries of big companies. Rents have shot up so high that it’s not easy to take 6 months of to build something so you don’t have to explain. Failure has become expensive. Why not work in places where the rents are cheaper? I mean: Money at ones's disposal = salary - costs of living. If the rents (and thus costs of living) are much lower, one perhaps can still outcompete or at least compete with big companies.
