Seems like about 5 years ago things took off, but if you stick to small job pool areas you will probably see jobs near the same rate as they were back then. I took a SV-based job to get leveraged up, now work remote for same rate, which is like 50% more than I was making 1.5 years ago. Friend of mine just went to another company full remote, I think he 2x'd his total previous income from a job he'd worked at for years (and it was a company that could afford to pay him way more than they did, but advancing without changing jobs is hard).
I think basically any tech company that you've heard of will be willing to pay close to 300k for experience, although remember half of that will generally be stock, and the higher the compensation, the higher percentage will be stock-based.
If you have more than 5 years experience and make less than 200k/year, I suggest you start interviewing.
