- christiansakai 7y agoThose are good questions and part of my soul searching as well. I think I want to get into top tech companies (financially motivated), but I've been studying DS&A a lot and definitely think it was a diminishing returns. I think my DS&A is pretty good but I'm still experiencing failure for FAANG interviews. I don't want to do more DS&A if I have to, but I want to get better so that I can move beyond just doing APIs and widgets. I am not that interested in management track. As I get older, I think technical skills aren't as valued anymore, except in top tech companies.
- z3t4 7y agoWhat will a higher compensation lead to ? eg. you land a job at FAANG, get a good salary, but what is the next step after that? eg. Step 1: get better at DS&A, step 2: Land a job at FAANG, step 3: ??? Is there anyway you can get to step 3 without going through step 1 and 2 ?
- christiansakai 7y agoTo be honest. I don’t know what will be the step 3.
