120k is bottom of the barrel wages.
- lylejantzi3rd 3y agoIt's nowhere near.
- CoastalCoder 3y agoYeah, you'd think. I've seen a handful of job advertisements via Google Jobs or LinkedIn that are closer to $60-80k, in the U.S. I have no idea if they're real positions, or if / when / by whom they'll get filled.
- scarface_74 3y agoEven on the enterprise dev side, I would expect at least $150K after 5-7 years for your standard full stack dev
- cj 3y agoYou’d think that. But a few weeks ago I interviewed a full stack dev working for IBM who was making $110k with 8+ years experience. I was a bit floored. I know IBM isn’t FAANG, but I was expecting them to be making a lot more based on their resume and working at a big co.
- scarface_74 3y agoThe issue is that they worked there for 8 years. You have to be an aggressive job hopper . Salary compression and inversion are real.
- lolinder 3y agoThese conversations make no sense without talking about location. OP is talking about a remote (US) position. $120k is a 90th percentile salary in much of the country, and there are tons of people who would be willing to take that salary if it means not having to move to the coasts.
- lokar 3y agoI guess your POV is influenced by your surroundings. I know plenty of people getting 7 figures either remote or they could easily switch to remote if they preferred it.
