If they were better developers, they would just work at a company with better compensation.
This is not necessarily true. FAANG have great compensation and excellent reputations regarding the technical capabilities of their employees but people leave them or choose lower compensation offers at smaller companies over their offers all the time.
- pm90 7y agoI would want to know which of those developers have lower compensation because they joined a startup or something similar with the _possibility_ of a much bigger payout in the future. Or moved to a much lower CoL and accepted a smaller comp. My point is: your observation that FAANG developers do accept lower comp for work elsewhere is not very convincing.
- sidlls 7y agoI have just passed a FAANG interview, but I'm leaning towards another offer at about 70% of the offer likely from the FAANG interview for a number of reasons (commute and impact I can make are the top two). The offer I'm considering is at a company where two ex-FAANG were in my interview panel. It happens frequently enough.
