Someone from Asia who is pretty good at their work can get a fully international remote job that pays north of 100K USD? Is this practically possible or is it super difficult like say getting into MIT or CMU. I'm asking because this seems farfetched and I have no idea how these things actually do play out in the real world.
- karaokeyoga 4y agoI am in Tokyo, working for an SF-based startup, and am making $180K/year. Translated into yen, it's about 2 or 2.5 times the amount I could hope to get locally. Full disclosure: I have no university degree, and am not a guru/superstar/10x engineer. I am intermediate-senior and competent, no more.
- quickthrower2 4y agoDo you mind me asking: Did you get that job through a job board or connections?
- karaokeyoga 4y agoJob board, no relationship to anyone at the company … they reached out to me (my resume was available on the job board).
- newaccount74 4y agoDo you have some specific skill set or lots of experience in a domain the company was looking for?
