Average commute in the US is 45 minutes each way, so as long as $25k is ~15% of your income or less, it may not be so bad of a deal as you think.
(or total income of ~$167k; which isn't outlandish for even non-megacorp devs with some years under their belt.) And given you're mentioning paying that much for an apartment, I'm guessing you fall closer to that side of things vs. the general average.
- deprecative 3y ago> (or total income of ~$167k; which isn't outlandish for even non-megacorp devs with some years under their belt.) Uh.. where might these unicorn jobs exist? All I've seen is salaries go down about $40k for like to like positions from my last senior role. They've all dropped out of the six figure park.
- satvikpendem 3y agoI've seen roles from mid 100s to mid 200s, all remote, for 5 YoE or so. Where are you looking and what roles are you looking for?
- deprecative 3y agoLooking anywhere I can at this point. Been unemployed with the rest of the industry for a while. Looking for intermediate to senior positions. Can do senior level work but tend not to go for them. I haven't seen salaries six figure plus in several months unless it's some ML guru rockstar ninja job posting.
- satvikpendem 3y agoLinkedIn has a bunch of 6 figure posts for full stack development so not exactly sure where you're looking. What's your field and YoE? And what's your physical location generally speaking?
- deprecative 3y agoFull stack. 10ish YoE. Midwest. Everything I see on LinkedIn for that is staff++ or team lead.
- satvikpendem 3y agoProbably should just apply to those then. Or search for senior software engineer on LinkedIn and apply to those. I just did that right now and get lots of hits with salaries above 100k.
- deprecative 3y agoIt has those posts, yes, those salaries are also going down but I was talking senior to senior development salaries. Those are all under $100k that I can see. I don't have the requisite experience for staff++ or team leads, nor do I really care to have those jobs.
- satvikpendem 3y agoI honestly don't understand where you're seeing sub 100k salaries for senior developers. Can you send a link or screenshot of what you're seeing?
- deprecative 3y agoLinkedIn. Sub 100k salaries are the norm. What magic are you doing to get more money? Do I just need to like humblebrag leetcode or something to get the algorithm to spike my worth?
- satvikpendem 3y agoI'm not in the Midwest nor do I put my desired location as there, I set it as remote only and use the 100k+ filter. I haven't done any Leetcode for any of my jobs, just full stack.
