40 years old, 155k, 10% performance bonus, full remote with the stipulation that I stay within a couple time zones of PST.

And just an edit: I have 18 years of experience, and this was a pretty hefty pay cut from my last job. The full remote makes things worthwhile for me, at least.

Where in South America do you spend most of your time?

Do you enjoy or find time to write code outside of work?

Mid-30's. Male. Married. A few kids.

SF bay area. > 10 yrs at top tier post-IPO SV company. Backend infra development (C++). One of the top 10-15% engineers in the company.

> 400K total comp this year - Going forward, it seems stocks will dominate the total compensation but its okay given the current state of my company.

Taxes: effective 35-40% (federal + state + payroll).
