The "write their own ticket" idea is both a myth and a misunderstanding. Even if you're say a coder in NYC making 200k at an ad agency, your status isn't as high as the coder at FourSquare making half as much. By status, the zero sum part of social capital ways in more. For the amount of capital generated in Silicon Valley, coders at 6 figures are underpaid. 7 figures is the ticket they should be writing.
