They are considered the most diligent, most intelligent and the most trustworthy scientists in the world. They still fall short of expectation but if you can write readable code, communicate effectively using the Earth's most flexible and eloquent transport protocol, and come up to speed on time management, you make as much money as you care to make until you don't want to work so much.
Believe it: H1B's can't write readable code, can't use English in the same way we can, and can't represent time adequately, and they make fucking 6 figures hand over foot working for everyone name brand company you can think of.
Code, be assertive (70% of the competition you encounter are pussies). Act like you are paramilitary about software engineering. Test coverage is an ethical obligation of professional engineers in the same way civil engineers are required to conduct structural analysis,
If you apply 10% of this advice, you will have independence beyond your wildest imagination
Imagine merging pull requests at a bar. Now realize that's real and you can have it. Build your team, take no prisoners, show no mercy.
