FAANG salaries are not the market rate, it’s a market rate for specific companies for high qualified developers. On another market, I have a small agency, and I simply don’t see how a developer could provide enough value to a client on a typical web project so that we could bill the client enough to pay the developper that kind of salary. That discussion motivates me to try to increase our rates though. Edit: clarification of "justify that kind of salary".
