If you could double a $150-200k salary at Google, then maybe I should have considered interviewing there. I've been invited more than once, but didn't really want the corporate environment. I would claim to be a 2+ programmer myself. You don't need to believe me, of course, but based on your descriptions of the various ranks, I believe I would qualify. And yes, I do want to get into a position where I'm mentoring junior developers, but so far it's been sufficient too just handle all the programming myself. Writing all the code for both the client and the server gets old after a while, though, even if it means that everything works really well, even on low-end commodity hardware. So yes, I think I will be following your suggestion and hiring a junior developer soon. At least if my Kickstarter (not yet live) funds.
