I'm surprised to see multiple people mentioning pay cuts. In the Stackoverflow Annual Developer survey[1] I see Rust developers consistently being among the highest paid in the industry.

Yes, Rust jobs pay really well. I'm mentioning pay cuts because one of the side-effects of joining a startup is that they can be tight on money and will offer early employees shares instead. I work for a startup and am coding Rust and my salary went up by taking this job. So I'm only saying this as a general thing; I'm sure a lot of startups where Rust makes a difference (I'm sure a lot of startups would be just as well off with Python), they can probably afford a competitive wage. :-)

Who knows how much they would earn had they not taken that pay cut!
