I work at US based company and I earn $900k. Remote work has been a boon to me.
Oh look, someone who makes more than 10 times what I make. All the talk about 10x developers turns out to be true after all.

#14Can someone suggested how I can find remote opportunity for a robotics+software engineer position with a salary of at least $150k while being based in Europe?

For the folks incredulous at this number, senior staff level (IC7) and higher at top tier tech companies can get there, especially with stock appreciation. Stock/RSUs would comprise the majority of the compensation.

#16What is profile ? What do you do / specialize in ? For how long ?

#17$200k is a lot for most positions in the US. The median for a US dev is about $105k. I'm not surprised if you're not seeing positions higher than that.
Seems to be bimodal. Good senior devs get 180-200k and then FAANG get 300k+.

You think so? Do non-FAANG senior software engineers not get 200k+bonus? Seems to be bimodal. Good senior devs get 180-200k and then FAANG get 300k+.
I don't see a national median from the BLS for seniors, but I see other numbers saying $115k-130k median for seniors (glassdoor, indeed, payscale, etc). This is consistent with what I see. Most of the senior dev positions in my area (Philly region) are between $100k and $150k, with $100k-120k being the most common. I even see some senior level jobs with a lower end of the range around $85k (my company has that as a senior dev minimum, with a max of $150k). I see a few for $200k-ish, but for principle/director/etc level dev. These are very uncommon in my area.

I think that's highly location dependent. Your numbers might be right for a few locations like Silicon Valley, N. VA, NYC, etc. But the majority of locations seem much lower - basically half.
