Software engineers can't say that, if that's what you are implying. I don't know who can actually, which profession is so lucrative and with so little supply of professionals, that finding a well payed remote job that you like is even a possibility?
- _vertigo 7y agoGood software engineers in the United States absolutely can say that. Remote work typically pays less than work in high CoL areas but it still pays well. Additionally there are a lot of jobs out there. Personally I know that if I quit tomorrow I could easily have a job in less than a month. This isn’t going to be true in every area but it is absolutely true in the Bay Area currently.
- turk73 7y agoDon't get used to it. Over 40, it gets harder, late 40s, harder some more. Over 50, you better have made all the money you wanted to make because there are zero guarantees after that.
- aianus 7y agoDepends on your definition of well paid. Living on $50/h remotely in Vietnam is much more luxurious than $120/h butt-in-seat in San Francisco although it’s a lot less money in absolute terms.
