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.

I'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]

Looking 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.

LinkedIn 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]

Full stack. 10ish YoE. Midwest. Everything I see on LinkedIn for that is staff++ or team lead.

[satvikpendem]

Probably 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]

It 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.
