Trading one anecdote for another: I've met plenty of mediocre engineers at unicorns. Every company has its own flavor of BS and "mindnumbingly boring work."

I have a friend that I consider borderline incompetent. He works for an unicorn. He claims he makes up for it in spirit in charisma.

Point is, compensation and skill don't correlate as strongly as people think.
