What about this scenario:
* No US country so 300k+ TC is as rare as hens teeth
* Paid probably top 5% ile local comp I guess
* Equates to about $130kUS TC
* Don’t want to relocate
* A tiny chance of getting one of those coveted “remote” jobs (instead of remote-but jobs where the “but” is being in the US with rights to work there)
How can I go about getting an extra 25% or more from current employer? Remember I wont get a local offer higher than what I am on now unless I time travel and make
myself a HFT C++ person, or a senior manager of 1000+ indirect reports.
- manmal 3y agoAs someone living in the EU, you won’t. I‘d suggest to look into freelancing as there‘s different budgets for those people usually, and this also trims some of the costs for the employer, which you get to pocket. You might also be able to acquire customers from regions with higher salaries.
- MichaelRo 3y agoWell, I live in Eastern Europe so even $120k+ ($10k per month) is rare as hens teeth. Actually the market rate for my skill, seniority and all is half of that so $5000 per month gross. Now I do get $120k on occasion, as long as it lasts (doesn't always last for long). But how I do it is my competitive advantage, like trading strategies there's not zero but negative incentive for me to generously share it with "everyone". In this area it's everyone for themselves :P
- oblio 3y agoYeah, but where you're from you can buy a solid house near a big city for 100-200k so you probably come out ahead
- cbg0 3y agoStart applying for remote jobs outside of your area. When you have a better offer, go to your employer with it. If they don't want to keep you, then you can just move on to the new job.
