Not even half - my web dev salary is a little over $100k and I stay because the job is a joke.
My priority is my SaaS products I’m making on the side.
Why would I risk my ability to work on what I care about with a change? I could get an asshole manager, shitty coworkers or bad projects at a new job. If you stay at a non-tech company that doesn’t know what they’re doing, you’ll end up being the only person who knows how everything works after a few years. I can just coast maintaining that software now. Screw big-tech, they’re a bunch of pro-censorship authoritarian assholes, even if I could get a job at one of them I wouldn’t.
I’d rather make half faang compensation and work half as much.
