Perhaps this is true if you &#x27;can relocate to SF&#x27; + is american&#x2F;won the h1b lottery, end up working in a company with 6 hours&#x2F;day policies, 20% time and plenty of money to burn.<p>All other mortals are in a way or another struggling. Pulling all nighters(because it&#x27;s expected), having long periods of stress + burnout.<p>The advantages I see are that the money is good and that people(me included) love programming. Having a job doing something you love is definitely a blessing. The biggest of them.
