I'll take that deal.

Caveat, 200k would have to include bonuses, and not just base salary.




And I'll add the following:

- it can not be a FAANG company, or any other company who makes their money by unethically exploiting consumerism, and/or advertising that abuses user privacy. These are non-negotiables. I want to sleep at night without thinking about how many people get screwed over for my benefit.

- things like "flexible schedule" and "work-life balance" need to be more than just wishful thinking. I have two small kids that are always going to be my priority.

If you are up for it, let me know your email and I will send you my CV.


Willing to relocate to the US?

No, I am not. We are talking about remote work here.


Fair enough.

> Also the cost of doing something so small can add up when you can have a cushy tech job making 200K relatively easy.

The point being relatively easy if you fit a specific criteria (don't need flexibility, want to work long hours, have a above average CV, can live near a major tech hub, have no problem working for FAANG etc).


My proposal was a direct response to PragmaticPulp, who said "a $200K or more compensation package should be easy to come by remotely or in any medium size city."

And this is why I made the proposal, it was a challenge to this notion that it is easy. I stand by the idea that is not, and I am willing to pay to be proven wrong.

It may not have been clear, but we agree.
