When I first started in tech it was always money money money, didn't care who I worked for or the work environment was like, all I saw was dollar signs. I did this from the time I started my career about 5 years ago until I joined my current job.
With my current job I know I could go elsewhere and make $50k more, but at what cost? It really started to make me consider, how much is remote work worth to me, how much is a laid back environment worth to me. For now even though I could be making more, the value in having the control over my time like I do not is worth more than what companies have been offering.
- dixie_land 4y agoyour mindset would definitely be different when early in your career 50 might be a 50% pay bump but now it’s less than 10%
- entropicdrifter 4y agoYou're suggesting that with 5 years' experience, the person you're replying to is making over 500K/year?
- dixie_land 4y agoyeah if “money money money” had been your plan for 5 years it’s totally feasible to land at a senior role at this stage. while the market definitely has shifted very drastically in the recent few months, at beginning of the year 500k for a senior that interviews well is not an uncommon offer.
- rank0 4y agoIt is absolutely uncommon. What percent of senior engineers do you think make 500k?! Maybe if you do some funny math with assumed stock option prices and price in value of PTO, etc you might get a few percent…
