Do you know of any startups that sponsor visa and pay more than FAANG???
Start-ups usually pay less BUT give you more equity which either ends up (usually) being worth nothing but can (if you win) be worth millions. AMZN stock tripled in 4 years which is amazing for a public company but it's totally possibly for your startup equity to 10x or even 100x if it's very successful. High risk of getting nothing, high rewards if successful, but lower day to day comp.
