I have worked for a small software development company in a small town for a small salary for over 10 years now. We are very chill. We are not venture funded. I think most participants in HN could also do this if they can tolerate making much less money than you would make in the city (with much lower cost of living), and if the other things that come with city life are not that important to you. There are some opportunities that I think are only available in the FANGs. If your passion is in that domain, then you may have to stick it out. This is the only reason that I can see for doing the corporate grind. I don't have an addiction to money. There is no stuff that I could buy with more money that would be worth the corporate grind. Software development skills are important enough that you will be in demand no matter where you go. Especially if you're feeling like the author of this article (over it), consider what's really important to you. You may have more options than you think. |
