My thought also. Just tweeted about it: https://twitter.com/misterremote/status/1395213302708555779 I don't want to share what app I'm using in real-time (Smiling face with open mouth and smiling eyes) I

Yeah. And I'm also thinking about the value you give to the world, you know. Like these photo filter apps. How do they improve our life here on Earth. They rather have negative effects I would say: like a bad impact on teenager's

Ok, I see. I guess if company feels that the talent is very valuable to them, it's possible to negotiate special terms like this, but I guess in general companies are not then interested in part-time roles yeah. I'm actually plann

I’m often thinking about the same thing, but not only in tech. Like why this photo filter app boy/girl is super rich + has a lot of free time, and my friend nurse has very little money and works all the time?

But shouldn’t that be totally doable? What’s the argument against that by the employer? Because pay is also 50%

Nice that you brought up the location. I'm in Europe. There are two sides of me when I think about the salary and location: 1) you write code and produce stuff and it doesn't matter where you live. you can live anywhere you want,

TBH, of course I do know that moderators exist, but I've never consciously thought that it can be really awful what they see (children stuff, suicide, etc)

Yeah, I get how this can sound like a pathetic moan about my salary. But I was really looking for some comments and data about dev salaries from the HN community. And it was super helpful, really. After reading the comments, I had a call wi

Why fascinating? :) My reason for not thinking about my hourly price was that I had a very flex schedule. I knew that I got paid very little for my experience, but I finished my tasks really quickly and had a lot of free time. But when I ne

Thanks! Just curious why logging hours is a red flag for you? Well, I myself hate logging hours. But I think it's a personal issue of mine. In short, it's maybe my ego thing. I somehow hate when people measure my minutes. I know w

Thanks for a great comment! Seeing your comment and other encouraging comments here on HN, I had a call with the startup this morning. I basically said: "Now that I have to log my every hour, it got me thinking about my hourly price. S

But I can't. I mean... okay I can. I can just say: "no, I don't track my time for you. this is who I am and I just don't track time." And then they ask: "why?". What should I say then? :| Well, there are a

Sorry if that looked like this for you. It's 100% real. And today I had a call with startup. I had some numbers to back me up now with HN comments. But they basically said that they don't have any more money to pay me, so we just

They're correct! But I forgot to mention I'm in Europe not in US. So yeah, I pay around 50% for taxes (biggest of them is social security tax of around 30%).

Is my salary fine or should I ask more? I feel like I should ask more. Would be helpful to hear about your salary and hourly price?

You put this very nicely, thanks. There are different ways of doing things for the different purposes. This reminds me the time I was working at the office. We had an open floor plan, and so no doors (except the CEO). It was sometimes nice

I'm happy to see that, because last time I checked Google said: You'll have to formally apply for up to 12 months of remote work in “the most exceptional circumstances." It seems that Google is getting more relaxed about remo
