Why?

So you don't get to work at a big name tech company, big whoop. Go find one of the myriad of companies that are still doing great work, pay well, and where overtime isn't expected. There are literally thousands of them, you just won't get any name recognition from them.

You're unlikely to hit $300-400k+ TC at those though.

Pay is a huge reason why people join them. The pay scale is completely different and (practically) necessary to compete in the bay area housing market. Checkout levels.fyi.

> necessary to compete in the bay area housing market

I think there might be another solution to that problem then...
