I see. I'd suggest that one would need to be as selective and fortunate in finding Unicorn self employment as outside employment that fits the bill. Also, whether one feels a position/endeavor meets unicorn status depends on personal tastes. For me, working for myself is just as important as what I'm doing and compensation. I also value being in charge of and learning the full stack, from sysadmin work to database and server side work to client side programming. It would be very rare to find such diverse work and responsibilities working for the sort of employer author considers his ideal.
