I can’t say the same. I was making $150K in 2020 at 45 years old living in my 4 year old newly built house in the burbs and I completely ignored any chance at working at BigTech if it meant moving.
The only reason I gave a recruiter the time of day at the BigTech company I ended up working at is when she suggested I do a pivot into the cloud consulting department (cloud app dev implementations) and said the position was remote.
But I would go back to my old comp way before I would be willing to ever be in an office again.
I was making “enough” in 2020. Everything else was just gravy.

- scarface74 4y agoMost of the 2.7 million developers in the US don’t live in a coastal area I had my house built in 2016 in “the good school system” in the northern burbs of Atlanta for $335K. It was 3200 square feet 5/3-1/2. There is a reason I didn’t entertain the recruiter until she suggested a permanently remote role.
