Plenty pay >$250k remotely and in large cities such as SF and NYC-- For Engineers, Managers/Executives (Eng, Mktg, other), Salespeople, etc. You just have to ask for it. If you're unfamiliar, join TeamBlind.com

A company sent me roles at $125k recently. I wrote them back with a polite variation of "heck no, my rate is $250k".

I'm currently quite broke-- $5k to my name (too many sabbaticals, plus only recently paid off student debt and pivoted into engineering). But I bluff every time and sometimes it works out. Nothing to lose: there seem to be infinite employers in need of software engineers.

They wrote back to schedule an interview.



250k I'm on already, its going up from there is the hard part.
