IDK what course of action they should take.
I just think it's easy to lose sight of the fact that the unicorns account for a big share of the cash stream which is actually accessible to a working software developer.
It's easy to lose sight of the fact that software dev skills aren't worth all that much in isolation.
A developer who spent many of their prime earning years (15 - 30 years of age) tapping into that stream at a unicorn will find it more difficult, if not impossible, to do that again later in their career.

- HillaryBriss 8y agoThank you for commenting on my comment. It's just my dumb opinion, like everything else I post on HN. Quite possibly you and others will prove my statements wrong. Good for you and good luck to you. Sounds like your work at Amazon as well as your resignation are both well-played career moves.
