- EdwardDiego 5y agoPlenty of good devs open to competitive offers down here in APAC. I joined a US company as part of a follow the sun model. Although ironically I seem to support people who are up at midnight in Europe more than in my area of the world. Happy to have a chat, see if I can offer any useful feedback :)
- Aeolun 5y agoHmm, living in APAC, it seems like companies in the US are either never hiring for remote positions overseas, or offer laughably low salaries.
- hawaiianbrah 5y agoYeah, I wish I had more power here.
- onion2k 5y agoWe’ve been trying to staff a 3x8 follow the sun model for over 6 months and have been unable to fill the roles in EU and especially APAC. Pay more. It literally solves all recruitment problems.
- hawaiianbrah 5y agoGee, I wish I could control that.
- CalRobert 5y agoSalaries in the EU are not what they were and have improved dramatically. I've found most companies to be wildly off the mark when making offers. Perhaps you need to recalibrate.
- hawaiianbrah 5y agoIt’s true, and it’s sad to see. A long time high performer on our team based in Germany makes a pittance compared to more Junior US based folks. Alas, I cannot do anything about it.
