This is great and more salary transparency is important. I'm wondering if these numbers jive with your hunch about the local market? I'm asking because I've noticed that when asking for salary numbers, those who make "decent" wages tend to reply more often and this can lead to sampling bias.
- mdjasper 8y agoThat's a good point about potential bias (those making more are more likely to respond). It's my intuition from living and working in this area for a long time that the responses are pretty representative. The surveyed group (UtahJS slack channel) I think skews more toward the less experienced (which shows in the years of experience chart), so if anything the data may be skewed that direction.
- nouseforaname 8y agoWhen I wasn't working remote, informally the ceiling seemed to me to be around $120k. That was a few years ago and these days I would have guessed more around $140k. Obviously I didn't have all the data points so good to see people who are at $175k-$200k.
- pbrb 8y agoMan, I would love to be able to pick your brain and see how you made the moves you made. I also come from a non-standard background and have a high paying gig in a low cost of living area, but want to switch to remote at a big company...
