Do they really though? How many non-US companies are paying $150k+ to mid level front end developers? I don't think that exists anywhere else.
- gonehome 5y agoYeah - I'd be surprised. I hear European salaries are at best ~100k maybe ~120k and that's pretty much maxed out a decade in. Day 1 silicon valley devs do better than that. 150k is also out of date for mid-level FAANG total comp today. I hear it's more like 600k and goes up from there.

I was just talking average total comp for B and C tier large companies outside the Bay. The kind of role an average self taught dev with 2-3 years experience could expect to land in any major US city.
- gonehome 5y agoAh gotcha - yeah that sounds right to me.
- coldtea 5y agoIt doesn't exist for the majority of the US either... https://money.usnews.com/careers/best-jobs/computer-programmer/salary https://money.usnews.com/careers/best-jobs/computer-programm...
