Yes. Some of the opportunities exist in odd corners of the software universe. To offer just one example, I'm aware of a software company that does nine figures in ARR making high performance computing software for very large financial institutions. There's basically no chance you've ever heard of them. They're very low key. The company hasn't grown headcount much in the last decade, and their employees don't really l…

I used to work at such a place. Contracts with places large as BAML and other places you e never heard of… Unless you’re the low level wizard you’re just going to make an industry standard salary, maybe a bump but nothing special.
