Your friend has to decide what is more important, a better paying job or working independently?

There are many companies that have several developers on their staff, but rarely have any projects large enough for more than one dev.

Maybe your friend should focus on finding a job that has other programmers that are better than he/she is. This is how you really step up your game. A willingness to learn more is the sign of a great developer. Those that think they know everything are delusional.

Edit: Good programmers are also the ones who can: make sound arguements and pursuade others to follow their suggestions and work with code written by others.
