Sounds like you’re making bank now.
The problem is that, you sound like are expecting me to respect you.
You sold out, sure you got some more cash for your trouble so congrats I guess. I just want you to be honest about what you did.

Maybe you live in a place where developers have the privilege of being able to pick the right employer among thousands.
It's not like that in most of the world.
In many places even senior software engineers have to choose between:
- nasty companies (advertisement, finance and trading, faangs, real estate speculation, cryptocurrencies, gambling and worse) that provide a living salary and provide a decent working environment
- few ok-ish companies that can offer a low salary, very unremarkable conditions and stability
- start your company or consultancy and make 0 money
- regret working in software and open a grocery store
- be unemployed

I dont care about your respect... I'm just saying your 'top-tier salary' of 2x doesnt compare with an actual top tier FAANG salary, in my experience.
I know 2x is still ridiculously high, even 1x is a very reasonable amount to live on, but 2x doesn't compare to 5x.
