Wow, this offhand comment reminds me that there's a vast gulf between US compensation and elsewhere... 130k/y as a "below market" offer...

I doubled my salary between last year and this one and I'm still not even halfway to 130k/y (and I'm happy because it's remote).. .and I live in the most expensive city in South America (more expensive than US midwest & Texas, cheaper than NY / SF of course).

I thought USD 130k/year was a good offer even in the US, I think it's roughly what the Texas-based developers I work with make.

130k is a good non-FAANG offer for typical developer roles, as far as I’m aware.

But if you go FAANG and/or atypical role, the limit is much higher.
