Ask HN: Are there “regular” SWE jobs that pay $200k+?
There’s been a lot of discussion about the bimodal distribution in entering pay (specifically at the “senior” level). Blind and Levels.fyi have plenty of data on $300k+ FAANG pay packages. There’s plenty of hiring going on outside the hotspots at the $120-160k level. But are there non-FAANG jobs (ie sane hiring process, small teams) that pay senio engineers $200-300k? If so, where are they?
