Also anon account with some more data to add. From my perspective, US salaries have rapidly jumped in the past few years. My total comp increased significantly over the past few years at the same company, and then astronomically more once I bit the bullet and applied to new jobs.
- 2015: 85k in HCOL area
- 2018: 115k in LCOL area (remote)
- 2021: 180k in LCOL area (remote)
- 2022: 280k in LCOL area (remote, FAANG)
I work remotely from the US midwest with 7 YoE. I have several colleagues with fewer YoE making much more than me at both FAANG and pre-IPO startups, but in HCOL areas.
- anon-ATL 4y agoMy wife and I say to each other that this can't last forever and we say (half jokingly) that we're overpaid and hope no one realizes it too quickly. She's in the field (not a developer) and makes more than I do. Our plan is to keep at it as long as we can and get to a point were we are debt free (including the house) and then move to a LCOL area in another country when the salaries crash.
