Lots of companies continue to hire even as they cut jobs. I would even say it is normal. Ghost jobs do also exist.

> Ghost jobs do also exist. I don’t know about that. A lot of times companies will already have someone they want but they have to post a job listing for X days before they can fulfill it. Full time hire process can take a long time and is why contract to hire can get you in the door faster.

This is still a ghost job. A ghost job are jobs advertised that are not intended to be filled. If they are leaving ads up for jobs that are already filled it is a ghost job.

I feel like there's a huge disconnect between salaries, job titles, and years of experience. 6/7 years experience and you're eligible for a staff software developer position at $500K a year? I've got 15 and still on 5 figures / year. In Euros, sure, but there's a huge disconnect there.

I find it weird that these companies don't have more offices in Europe, given they can easily out-compete any local companies on salary.

Please make one for North Koreans who will be posting thousands of fake resumes to these jobs. Ultimately the chance of a legitimate candidate getting through are less than the chance of winning the lottery.

What a cynical take. If that were the case, every remote company would be staffed exclusively by north Koreans.

Excellent, looks really nice, thank you for putting it together

Do you have some sort of feed/api that a program can consume?

Would love to import those jobs into this CLI tool I created that helps people find good job matches, and track applications, using AI: https://github.com/nicobrenner/commandjobs

Right now it has scrapers for HN’s Who is hiring, for Workatastartup and Workday

Even in the states the average is only 133k.

A lot of people are making 80k in some small city. Lots are making 300k in NYC.

Someone will always do better, some worse

I wish these salaries existed for Europe

Never forget that taxing and social systems in Europe work very different and that's why you can get by with "lower" incomes.

Its so sad that companies arn't ok with a simple US llc wrapper. EU people can deal with their own taxes the possible tax savings are well worth the extra paper work for an EU worker so i'm sure they would be willing. But HR compliance people are so risk averse they don't want to see any non standard candidates.

Yes I am an Indian and based in India. Everyone loves remote work here though ppl go to offices also but we are extremely family oriented ppl and tied to our ancestral properties. So remote is awesome. I have even more suggestions that for 2 months you can offer your services as an introductory offer at 1000 rupees and then after two months when enough ppl have joined you can switch it up to 20k rupees especially for…

Or maybe you should build it you seem to know the India market well.

Thanx. I am thinking on that since the original author has US as the goal.

Software engineering has trimodal compensation curves

Going between the curves isn’t tied to experience at all, but within the curves it moderately is. You should learn the field you are in if you want different results.

The first job I clicked on said this in the actual ad. This is a far cry from a remote job. The aggregator needs a little more tweaking: This role is based out of Reddit's office located in San Francisco. We will only consider candidates currently located in San Francisco, or currently within close commuting distance to the SF office. The role requires in-office work 4 days per week.

Its an aggregator which means its probably not perfect as its looking for keywords or something.
