The painfully shy developer's guide to networking for a better job (2017)
I have lately felt very underpaid, given the current crazy job market for developers. I’m at a FAANG which supposedly pays “market rate,” but it doesn’t seem true in practice. Why play the promo and comp game, spending months or years proving the value of your hard work, when you can just jump ship for an instant level-up?I basically have a negative incentive to stay, even though I really like my job and I’m pretty good at it. Very frustrating.
