Senior devs are closer to 400K-500K total comp. Very senior devs are above that.
Still, the value of working on your own project full-time (rather than someone else's thing) can easily justify accepting the difference.
- yen223 2y agoI'm surprised no one here has factored in the very real risk of getting laid off.
- negus 2y agoDo you think that this risk is bigger than you business being hit by the market?
- yen223 2y agoProbably not, but it's still not 0
- ozim 2y agoI am very surprised no one factored - starting own company can be much more realistic to achieve than landing $400k/year gig at FAANG - it is not like one walks into a lobby and gets a job. Keep in mind stories of people telling how they were passed on by some big name corp just to go on to build something big.
