Why just VC funded?
because vc money drives the overinflation of software salaries at the top + doesn't really go towards any kind of public or civic good. also an approximation for engineers who work at "tech companies" vs. engineers who just work at "companies"

which is a differentiation in compensation and also currently skill/education that i think should lessen a lot in the next decade or so as more people learn to code but in the short term it's vc funded engineers that tend to have the needed expertise

My knowledge is limited, but it feels like FAANG engineers/late stage startup engineers get significantly more comp than the average startup employee

i’m counting those as vc funded. you all forget that vc is not a normal way of starting a business outside of tech. also your average startup eng is still making waaay more than a dev at like a city bureau is making we need to stop pretending startup engineers are poor lmao

I’ve never been a VC backed developer, but I’ve worked with plenty of devs who could benefit from helping people for no other reason than helping people.

because vc funded folks make six figures out of college and contractors like me do the same shit and make just over minimum wage
