Use this time to switch folks. Get that $300k job NOW.
You can ask for benefits such as permanent wfh, vacation before starting, extra stock, signing bonuses.
You could even tell them upfront that you will not do a take home, if you don't want to. Or if they have to have a take home, ask for compensation or to reduce one coding round.
- LAC-Tech 5y ago300K? For what kind of work? At what kind of company? I know programmers in the US and 300k remote jobs aren't falling from the sky.
- overrun11 5y ago> 300k remote jobs aren't falling from the sky. They sort of are. I guess you're right you might not stumble upon it accidentally but a fairly average programmer can get 300k remote if they have 3-4 years of experience and seek it out. FB, Twitter, Dropbox, Stripe and Instacart (plus probably a number of others) will all pay this much or more for remote.
- LAC-Tech 5y agoGod damn. Regret not spending the past 10 years trying to get into the States.

- LAC-Tech 5y agoTrying to get $100 USD an hour for contract work in local companies is like pulling teeth. I've yet to manage it and will probably just sop bothering with any company based here. I could get a lot of teeth pulled privately for $300,000 USD a year. EDIT: Actually in NZ you have to get that done privately anyway
- Cyph0n 5y agoEh, 300k for 3-4 years is a bit on the high end, but it’s possible. It also heavily depends on the region you’re based in. I know that FB decreases comp by >10% for lower cost of living regions.
