> I can’t wait to pay you $500,000 per year. You just have to be an awesome and insane engineer with enough skills and work ethic to keep the work we do for our clients as good as the work at the biggest and best tech companies in the world.

Perhaps he is being a bit hyperbolic, but if he really is willing to pay an engineer 500k/year, I have a feeling he should be able to lure people away from the likes of Google, FB, and Apple, and actually keep them.

Back in the day smart consulting companies would hire "consultants" and bill them at lower rates and train them on technology. within a year or 2 they became "senior" had the experience and they were able to get top dollar for them.
