I'm not technical. Can I work with iDev?

Absolutely. Most of our clients are non-technical. Just tell us what you want the end result to look like — we handle all the technical details.

How much does it cost to hire iDev?

We quote individually based on project scope and complexity. Initial consultation is completely free — we give you a clear quote after understanding your needs. No fit, no charge.

How big is the iDev team?

A few core members, each capable of delivering full-stack independently. We flexibly assign people based on project scale and can run multiple projects simultaneously.

What happens after project delivery?

We provide complete code and documentation at handover. For ongoing feature development or maintenance, we offer monthly or per-project arrangements. Most clients choose long-term collaboration.

What if I'm not satisfied with the project midway?

We confirm with you at every stage before moving forward. If the direction is off, we adjust immediately. If it truly can't continue, completed work is settled normally and all code is yours.

我完全不懂技术，能合作吗？

当然可以。我们的大部分客户都不是技术背景。你只需要告诉我们你想要什么效果，技术实现的事情完全由我们来处理。

费用大概是多少？

根据项目复杂度和功能范围单独报价。初次沟通完全免费，我们会在了解需求后给出明确报价，合适再开始，不合适不收费。

团队有几个人？

核心团队几个人，都是能独立交付的全栈开发者。根据项目规模灵活安排人手，可以同时推进多个项目，不用等排期。

项目做完以后怎么维护？

交付时会提供完整的代码和文档。后续如果需要功能迭代或维护，可以按月或按次合作。大部分客户选择了长期合作。

做到一半不满意怎么办？

每个阶段交付前都会和你确认。如果方向不对，我们及时调整。如果实在无法继续，已完成的部分正常结算，代码归你。

创业公司 vs 大厂：2026 技术人才的职业路径抉择

Startups vs Big Tech: Career Path Choices for Tech Talent in 2026

| iDev Research | 2026-09-01T09:43:06

从薪酬、成长速度、技术深度与工作生活平衡四个维度，深入分析 2026 年技术人才在创业公司与大厂之间的职业选择。

An in-depth analysis of career choices between startups and big tech for technical talent in 2026, examining compensation, growth velocity, technical depth, and work-life balance.

2026 年的职业选择：背景已变2024-2025 年的大规模科技裁员重塑了技术人才对职业稳定性的认知。2026 年，随着市场回暖和 AI 创业潮的兴起，创业公司与大厂之间的人才争夺再次白热化，但游戏规则已经改变。薪酬对比大厂优势：基础薪资高 20-40%，完善的股票授予和退休福利创业公司优势：期权可能带来超额回报，早期员工在成功退出时的收益可达大厂同期的 5-10 倍风险考量：统计数据显示仅 10% 的创业公司能存活至 C 轮，期权归零的概率远高于预期成长与技术深度创业公司提供更快的职责扩展速度，工程师在 2 年内可能触及架构设计、团队管理和产品决策。大厂则在技术深度上有优势——专注于特定领域（如数据库内核、编译器优化）可以达到世界级水平。2026 年的新变量AI 创业潮为技术人才创造了第三条路径：加入 AI 原生创业公司。这类公司通常由大厂资深工程师创立，融合了创业公司的速度与大厂的技术标准。远程工作的普及也模糊了地理界限，硅谷工程师加入新加坡创业公司不再是新鲜事。最终的选择没有标准答案。关键是诚实评估自己对风险的承受能力、当前职业阶段的核心诉求，以及对 3-5 年后理想状态的想象。

Career Choices in 2026: The Landscape Has ShiftedThe massive tech layoffs of 2024-2025 reshaped how technical talent views career stability. In 2026, as the market recovers and the AI startup wave surges, the talent competition between startups and big tech has intensified again, but the rules of the game have changed.Compensation ComparisonBig Tech Advantage: Base salary 20-40% higher, with comprehensive stock grants and retirement benefitsStartup Advantage: Stock options may yield outsized returns; early employees in successful exits can earn 5-10x what big tech peers make over the same periodRisk Consideration: Statistics show only 10% of startups survive to Series C, with option zero-out probability far higher than expectedGrowth and Technical DepthStartups offer faster responsibility expansion; engineers may touch architecture design, team management, and product decisions within 2 years. Big tech has the edge in technical depth -- specializing in specific domains like database kernels or compiler optimization can reach world-class levels.New Variables in 2026The AI startup wave has created a third path: joining AI-native startups. These companies are typically founded by senior big tech engineers, combining startup velocity with big tech technical standards. The normalization of remote work has also blurred geographical boundaries; a Silicon Valley engineer joining a Singapore startup is no longer unusual.There is no standard answer for the final choice. The key is honestly assessing your risk tolerance, the core needs of your current career stage, and your vision of your ideal state 3-5 years from now.
