Is 250k a big deal in the US, and how does it compare to how much a contractor makes? For reference, in the UK it's common for mid-level Python developers to make around 600£/day which is way above any full-time senior position, so if money was an issue couldn't you just become a contractor instead?
> You can also work on instagram, oculous
Instagram is no better. In fact they're working hard to turn Insta into yet another Facebook.
Oculus will also be just another channel for them to deliver cancer aka ads (look at what's happening with Insta and WhatsApp), so I don't see much point in working on it.
> just take the time to become a better engineer
Maybe, but I'm sure there are other companies that deliver actual value that people want where you can also become a better engineer.
Sorry, I don't agree with making the world worse just for the sake of money.
