   One good news is that US remote companies have been expanding to Europe, which will drive up salaries there over time to attract top talents. Gergely Orosz's Trimodal Nature of Tech Compensation in the US, UK and India has info on top

   Thanks for the note on the lag issue! I notice it as well and haven't gotten a chance to optimize it, but I think it is likely to due too many rows (400+) re-rendering, etc. The site is built with Next.js, Typescript, React, tailwindcs

   Thanks for the note! This is an initial MVP, so column sort hasn't been added. The default sort order is based on posted date. Which column are you looking to sort btw?

   Thanks for sharing that you run into the same issue. Agree that something is wrong, perhaps scrolling causes the table to re-render for some reasons. I will look more into it and getting it fix next. There are techniques to optimize perform

   Thank you for your kind words! I have this question on the faq page and am attaching the answer below: 4. Where are the salary data sourced from? Tech companies typically structure salary, often called total compensation, into 3 parts: base

   Thanks for the feedback. I think the lag might have been mainly due to the page loading and rendering 400+ job rows at once and is not related to the animation, though there might also be some hydration issues with the animation. Agree that

   Thanks, this is very helpful context. Totally agree that remote is awesome for folks who like to spend more time with family. Are there any other job sites or tools that you have used for job search or you mainly have to look at each compan

    Thanks for your suggestion! I haven't looked into non-US countries yet, but that is a helpful pointer given India is the most populous country in the world now. I will keep this in mind. Are you based in India? How is the remote landsc

    The resume parser is still a simple WIP tool and I apologize that it doesn't work well on your existing resume. Did you use some resume template to create your resume and if so would you mind sharing a link to the template so I can tak

    Thanks for sharing this feedback. Very interesting to learn that the resume composition was a primary filter back then. As you note, with the advancement of internet and proliferation of internet companies/tools, it is much easier to g

    It is definitely possible to build all of these with vanilla HTML/JS/CSS, but it would be much more work to build everything from scratch instead of leveraging frameworks that can speed up development, e.g. react, tailwind.

    Great idea. The app currently only supports import from pdf but not linkedin since it is a client side local app and isn't able to do any server side scrape work.

    Thanks so much for your kind words and support! Apologize for the re-import issue, the resume parser is workable but might still have some bugs here and there. Can you elaborate more on how the descriptions got moved around so I can take a

    I have looked into Reactive Resume. It is a great tool and an inspiration for this project. How well the resume is parsed depends largely on the format you choose. Two column resume designs look good but aren't ATS friendly. You should

    Thanks for your support and kind words. I tested the resume design with ATS platforms like greenhouse and lever to ensure they are parsed correctly, but their algorithm remains a black box and I am not aware of how it actually works. The re

    Great point. Top of my head, it seems possible and easier to support import from JSON resume instead of export. Just created an issue to keep track of it: https://github.com/xitanggg/open-resume/issues/12

    Agree with others' points that this skill meter is subjective, arbitrary and might not add much value. I created it initially more as a option to make the resume design to look more creative and appealing in design. I did called it out
