My thought also. Just tweeted about it: https://twitter.com/misterremote/status/1395213302708555779 I don't want to share what app I'm using in real-time (Smiling face with open mo…

Haha, exactly me!

Yeah. And I'm also thinking about the value you give to the world, you know. Like these photo filter apps. How do they improve our life here on Earth. They rather have negative eff…

Ok, I see. I guess if company feels that the talent is very valuable to them, it's possible to negotiate special terms like this, but I guess in general companies are not then inte…

I’m often thinking about the same thing, but not only in tech. Like why this photo filter app boy/girl is super rich + has a lot of free time, and my friend nurse has very little m…

But shouldn’t that be totally doable? What’s the argument against that by the employer? Because pay is also 50%

Nice that you brought up the location. I'm in Europe. There are two sides of me when I think about the salary and location: 1) you write code and produce stuff and it doesn't matte…

TBH, of course I do know that moderators exist, but I've never consciously thought that it can be really awful what they see (children stuff, suicide, etc)

Yeah, I get how this can sound like a pathetic moan about my salary. But I was really looking for some comments and data about dev salaries from the HN community. And it was super …

I agree. I don't :D I had a call with the startup today and here's the result: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27140093

Why fascinating? :) My reason for not thinking about my hourly price was that I had a very flex schedule. I knew that I got paid very little for my experience, but I finished my ta…

Thanks for a detailed comment. I asked them for more money, here's the result: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27140093

Thanks! Just curious why logging hours is a red flag for you? Well, I myself hate logging hours. But I think it's a personal issue of mine. In short, it's maybe my ego thing. I som…

Thanks! I had a call with the startup today about my price (see my full comment above). But basically they said they don't have any more money and we should all work with what is p…

Thanks for this. I had a call with the startup today (see my comment above).

Thanks for a great comment! Seeing your comment and other encouraging comments here on HN, I had a call with the startup this morning. I basically said: "Now that I have to log my …

But I can't. I mean... okay I can. I can just say: "no, I don't track my time for you. this is who I am and I just don't track time." And then they ask: "why?". What should I say t…

Sorry if that looked like this for you. It's 100% real. And today I had a call with startup. I had some numbers to back me up now with HN comments. But they basically said that the…

They're correct! But I forgot to mention I'm in Europe not in US. So yeah, I pay around 50% for taxes (biggest of them is social security tax of around 30%).

Is my salary fine or should I ask more? I feel like I should ask more. Would be helpful to hear about your salary and hourly price?

You put this very nicely, thanks. There are different ways of doing things for the different purposes. This reminds me the time I was working at the office. We had an open floor pl…
