400k is for FAANG, I doubt I'd get that nor do I really want to compete for it. Seems like a lot. I'm really happy where I am, even if I'm not making top dollar. Money isn't everything, I want to be comfortable, happy, and stress-free. I also just don't like California, I prefer small towns in Texas.

I know Google and FB made Flutter and RN respectively, and I thank them for that. That doesn't mean other SV companies aren't bloated, FAANG has a lot of money from their spigots (Google & FB have their ad money streams) and live on another level, not VC funding.

Cross platform has come a long way and enables small companies to do a lot more with less. Flutter is nice but has flaws, RN is the sweet spot. I could talk for days about the pros and cons of both.

Just want to point out that 400k isn’t just FAANGs, there are also public (Uber, DoorDash) and private (stripe) companies that offer that (and higher) compensation for senior IC roles.
