Is "offer as many people as possible a decent job with a family wage" even possible realistically? I am no philosopher but I find it hard to believe that this is possible.

Correct me if I am wrong, but how do you negotiate a raise without a competing offer? Seems like a losing battle from the start

Forgot to reply, sorry.

Yeah I am thinking of re-interview and getting a raise from competing offers. Do you think this is a bad idea or will leave a bad taste from my manager or HR?

So you are saying at some point there will be a time where this strategy doesn't work as well anymore? I am a bit relieved lol, I thought I am gonna Leetcode until I retire.

Yeah I expect this. I think I would like to start from something I am somewhat familiar with.

Interesting note about "acquiring and keeping a business alive, not starting a business", I am under the impression that these two skills are related, if not the same.

Wow interesting! Please share!

I have no experience in doing it, and also don't have an idea that is worth selling :(

Will take a look! thank you

Sometimes I wonder whether I should go and try to buy a micro SaaS business (I am an SWE) that's already out there just for the sake of trying to learn the ropes on how to do a business.

Convince me this is a bad idea.

Sorry to hijack the thread, I am wondering for those of you FAANG/Unicorn engineers. What is next to you after this?

Context, I am also a FAANG engineer earning FAANG salary but still faced with the reality that in order to increase salary (more so due to inflation) I just have to Leetcode and re-interview every year to renegotiate.

Until what point do you stop Leetcoding/re-interview every year? I think at some point I will hit a salary plateau, what to do after this? For an average (majority) of FAANG engineers, what are their salary plateaus? I probably need to just aim for that and then stop Leetcoding/re-interviewing after that.
