There's a pretty massive compensation gap between the top 10% of Rails companies in the US ($200-500k) and the rest of the top half ($130-180k).

As an individual developer, I think you should consider whether or not you want to "reach" for these FAANG-like jobs. Many are remote/worldwide. It's not a bad gig if you can get it.

@nateberkopec hiring and opportunity can be significantly affected by reputation and pedigree so 2 years at a FAANG can open doors (even though it shouldn’t)

@nateberkopec Now I wonder which companies those are. I know at least one!
