High status != high pay

This is the relevant part of the "Fork in the road" email:

> Design and product management will still be very important and report to me, but those writing great code will constitute the majority of our team and have the greatest sway.

Most companies put engineers _below_ design and product management: the designers and product people make decisions, and programmers just implement.

Once you're past the $120k/year mark does a higher salary matter that much really? It only matters if you don't find anything fulfilling about your job.

What would you rather?

$180k/year with great say over the product or $220k/year with little say on the product?

An extra $900/month on DTI adds $140K to a mortgage you can qualify for. You might be choosing between say over someone else’s product, or a house.
