I’ve been making over $500k a year since 2020 working fully remote; everyone I know with 7+ YOE at big tech or unicorns is also making 500k TC which often appreciates to ~700k+ with the current market.

We’re just writing dumb gRPC services that use Postgres. I work probably 30 hours a week and still get awards, bonuses etc.

Do tell, I’m very good at my job and can’t get an interview. :-D

Now all I need is an interview and offer.

Offtopic - what kind of unicorns now hire fully remote people with that experience?

Those are all definitely not asking about writing little services in postgres on their job apps. That tier job posting today looks more like a post for a tenure track ML faculty position.

I’ve worked at half of these places and they’re all doing yaml massaging and grpc sculpting. Not much more than basic KTLO with some regularly scheduled feature work and reliability heroics.

Well that is not what that tier job description is describing today at least. Maybe in the past or even still today if you got in early. Hard to imagine so much weight being put on ML knowledge and skills in the job app if it isn’t getting used in the role at all.
