I make $220k plus benefits as a specialized staff dev at a major tech company. Plus $100-$200k.year in stock. I’m 100% remote.

Likely if all you care about is salary, you find a FAANG job and move up the IC ranks. On http://levels.fyi a Google Principal Eng make > $1m in total per year in stock, salary, bonuses.

In my experience there’s a major stepwise change from major tech company paying Silicon Valley rates everywhere vs other companies not as heavily sought after by recruits.

Does specialized staff dev mean you work with a very specific tech stack? If so, do you mind sharing what it is? Also do you work 100% remotely within the States or from another country?
