Ask HN: What is the average salary for a front-end dev at a SF startup?
Assuming several years of experience at a startup with series c or d funding, what can one expect?
- Bahamut 11y agoDepends how good you are and how good you are at negotiating. I've heard of $120-130k being common for midlevel developers, although I was once offered $120k for a senior frontend position at SF from a YC startup. I would not settle less than $150k if I was going for a senior position. Definitely not under $125k for a midlevel developer.
- nphyte 11y agowhile we're at it, what skills best describe said developer?
- honest_joe 11y agoI would say an ability to develop a UI while following a shop's preferred style guideline. I would say a mastery of CSS3+HTML is necessary, advanced JS related to DOM manipulation is also welcome. Familiarity with CSS preprocessors would be considered big +. A taste for good design as well ?
