It’s only a “dick measuring” contest if either you tie your self worth to salary or you think they do.

When I see software developer salaries for SV companies, I’m mildly curious but I don’t look at them in envy. The two trade offs would be moving to the west coast and working for large companies. I’m interested in neither.

It is such a contest no matter what you think or do. I'll let this mini-thread articulate it better than I ever could: https://twitter.com/HeidyKhlaaf/status/1228605658393718784
