So you assume every developer makes $400K a year and floats on a margarita pool at a campus designed by Zaha Hadid? You should spend less time on TikTok watching grifters.

I am planning to take more "personalized" approach. It is time-consuming but I have a feeling that it's a winner strategy on the long run because you may demonstrate your knowledge and interest far better during those tailored engagements compared to being a part of a scripted interview resulting from a blind application. Good that some random anon validated my thoughts. Thanks.

I am already working with very cool people on a wide range of projects. However pay is very basic because I get a fat equity on all projects. Problem is: I have been doing this long enough that I am about to run out of money myself, moreover, this hinders my growth because everyone looks at me as the knowledge leader. Hence, my job search and post about grueling pain of finding a good fit in 2025.
