Yeah totally agree about the HQ and founding team. The founding team is likely to be a small handful of guys though. And they HQ will just have some Goldbergs in it. Normal people don't get to work there.
Microsoft HQ has 50k employees. That's a lot of coders making more than six figures. I've known a few people who have taken that route. They were good coders and workers, but they weren't John Carmack. My purpose in commenting is to not dissuade people who want to code as a career. I think there's still a future for good coders in the first world.
Maybe. But it's so far past it's peak. The right time to be a coder was the 90s.
It's not a great career choice for people starting out. Chose something with more growth potential and fewer people training in it.
