Well, it depends on where the company you work for is located. Not every company can pay $200K.
That is definitely not the ceiling. Remote work does tend to be a lower than in-person roles in tech hubs... but also higher than in-person roles in smaller, non-tech cities.
If you are hitting a ceiling, it is not the remote aspect that is limiting - something else must be going on.
$205k plus equity, based out of central Europe.
$175k CAD. Not FAANG.
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.
