Just use levels fyi or glass door - the self reported salaries here will be the self-selected top of scale. And given how vague the question is the information you get here will be useless for anything but reinforcing whatever you already thought.

#32also check out the Blind app which much more focused on this topic.
The problem with Blind is that it gathers mostly obsessive people with short attention spans, and those obsessions cause a lot of exaggeration or straight up bullshittery. It's like reading "leaks from people working at intelligence agency X", you just can't tell what is exaggeration, what are lies, so you end up a bit dumber usually.

I disagree with this sentiment, it might gather "obsessive people with short attention spans", but it doesn't mean their data is wrong. there is no way I can prove it to you, because anything can be faked. But from personal experience can tell you that Staff engineers easily make 400k+

#3415 years, £180k, work about 2 hours per day (if that), remote. Will probably take a second job once my RSI heals. Hoping to make £320k+ at that point.
I keep telling this company I have nothing to do and they keep wasting my time. It's one mismanaged project after another where the organisation gets in the way of me doing work with endless meetings, etc.
Have you thought of getting a second job if your current one is so chill?

#36155k, Linux/DevOps/SecOps. I work about 40 hours a week full remote. However, I just found out I'm getting laid off in october as they're moving services overseas to cut costs. I work for the largest Clinical research org in the world & we were bought by them last year. I'm a bit surprised & the group that bought us was not known for tech. I think they're going to ruin a lot of their tech offerings because I've worke…
I worked at a clinical research tech platform startup and the lack of tech experience in the leadership of the larger orgs actually paying for the tech is hysterical. Like, people cutting $10M deals for remote international drug studies done via web and mobile app who don't know what a "server" is.

#40160k / full stack / ~16h / 10years . fully remote. (france) I have a pretty chill job working at a large company where there are no deadlines and the bar for 'hard working' is pretty low. I try and get urgent things done as fast as possible but otherwise I take it pretty easy. I work in the evenings so I have my days free to ski/bike/ be with the kids in the hols, then i take some time off to pic them up from school…
Would you mind sharing what type of work?
160k in France is really high for such work conditions
