TBF there are orgs at companies whose sole role is to play DEFENSE - lawyers, CSO etc… if they deem something too risky it IS their job to block it, and then it’s up to upper management to override them if the situation calls for it.

Now that said they should still try to advance the mission within that framework, and not be lazy.

Tech salaries have ALREADY fallen and tech workers have already been largely treated as cogs. Yes it could get even worse but I get why they’re taking their chances

His moat is his price. And it absolutely is a moat because most bigger competitors would not bother competing in the segment with even lower prices, as there’d be no upside

Correction: These _investors_ have too much money

Actually it’s a step further: these _LPs_ have too much money

Like, cause of tiredness, or not being able to focus, or sheer boredom? Which one, or something else?

Put more charitably, there are always problems facing society

Well yeah that’s what I said… my main point was that unless you job hop into a faang, you’re quickly at the ceiling

And once you’re in a faang, there’s no higher to go

Good employers exist. It’s crazy the number of people who get burned a couple of times and declare the industry is sheet and they have to do their own thing or their life is doomed

Isn’t there a very real cap of say 200-225k for senior level regardless of where you go tho?

After that would be faang which itself is the endgame except (in some cases) jumping between faangs could get you more

Crazy, that’s approaching OpenAI pay… is it in the AI area?

Only the megacap ones.

For the other smaller but still public companies you need to be staff+ to hit that, and even then no guarantees

Damn that last sentence is depressing. What keeps you going?

How many of them are both geographically close enough and discoverable enough tho?

Uh oh!

Honestly thought it would be worse
