#137 Rahul Pandey quit his $800,000/year FAANG developer job to build a startup

On this week's episode of the podcast, freeCodeCamp founder Quincy Larson interviews Rahul Pandey. He's a software engineer who left his $800K / year FAANG job to build his own startup.

We talk about:

- The post-layoff developer job landscape
- Developer interviews and how to differentiate yourself
- Why salary negotiation still makes sense
- His belief that 10x engineers exist – and even 100x and 1000x engineers

Can you guess what song I'm playing on my bass during the intro? It's from a 1969 mowtown classic.
